Intentional Attention: Reclaiming Autonomy From Invasive Technology
“How we attend to things is a moral act.” -Iain McGilchrist
Reclaim autonomy.
Intentional Attention is a workshop about realigning our relationships with technology so that our attention is actually ours.
We all know how the attention economy operates—how it lives inside of us, how we live inside of it. Beginning with social media and accelerating with generative AI, this ever-intensifying race to the bottom of our brain stems has shaped not just what we pay attention to, but how we attend to anything at all. It's more important now than ever that we consciously decide what our relationship with technology is, so that decision is not made for us.
Join us for a guided, participatory experience that moves through feeling, thought, and action—beginning with a concentration practice, deepening through honest self-inquiry, and closing with personal commitments you make to yourself and to the room.
You will walk away with a clearer sense of the gap between how you currently attend to your life and how you know you should—and with the philosophical clarity, practical tools, and felt conviction to close that gap.
