We once turned to silence, sweat, tears, and each other in moments of need. Now we type our deepest longings into glowing rectangles that answer with perfect empathy and zero judgment. This workshop pin-points the spot where AI collides with what some are calling a collective spiritual emergency – the pull toward euphoric highs that can, at times, spiral into disorientation or digital overdependence. Together, we’ll explore the seductive trap of techno-spiraling, along with practical harm reduction strategies for the growing use of AI as a source of emotional and life guidance. In this workshop, a grounded approach brings the focus back to embodiment and community, supporting a more balanced relationship with technology and a return to direct, human experience.
