Cosmic Domes, Getting High, Space Music, and Synchronistic Tech are a random sampling of the hundreds of topics Erik Davis has illuminated in his decades as the de facto voice of the wild world of Consciousness Hacking (before that term was even born). Don’t take our word for it — take a look at his domain-defining novel “Techgnosis,” his online writings, and his ever evolving podcast with guests such as Wired’s Kevin Kelley and CH’s own Mikey Siegel.
Erik will examine the choices we face at this pivotal moment in the relationship between consciousness and technology. We’ll examine how heightened states of awareness informed early Buddhist and Christian culture, as well as the experimental psychology and “altered states” discourse of the 1970s. As we come to understand these experiences scientifically and build technologies to make them more accessible, we are steering our own evolution. This opportunity demands a historical perspective, both to ignite our imaginations and to prevent us from repeating the mistakes of the past. Bring an open mind and join us on November 2nd!
