Explore how the daimon—the inner guiding force of meaning and vocation—interacts with (and resists) the pressures of an AI‑shaped world. In‑person event.

What This Talk Covers

  • How AI competes with (or muffles) inner guidance and vocation
  • How digital culture alters attention, imagination, and destiny
  • What it means to “bargain” with the daimon during technological upheaval
  • How individuals can maintain alignment with soul, purpose, and meaning

You’ll Learn

  • How technological systems shape psychological development
  • Ways to discern internal guidance from algorithmic influence
  • Practices for strengthening vocation, purpose, and soul‑connection
