45 MINUTES · INTERACTIVE · LIMITED TO 30–50 PARTICIPANTS
How do we remain human—and spiritually grounded—in a time of accelerating technological change?
Attendees with a full festival pass or daypass are given priority to select workshops at no additional cost. The workshops will then be free and open to all others on a first come, first serve basis.

If rapid developments in AI leave you feeling overwhelmed, fragmented or anxious, culture futurist Theo Edmonds describes that experience as Innovation Grief™—the struggle to process uncertainty while moving through profound change.
AI didn’t create this spiritual and emotional stress, but it has accelerated it.
This workshop explores how we can maintain our grounding, honor human primacy and move forward with courage rather than fear.
Edmonds will introduce practical ways to turn wonder from a fleeting feeling into a daily practice—helping participants transform technological anxiety into greater imagination and possibility for life and work.
I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, The Astonishing Light of your own Being!
