Consciousness Hacking

Consciousness Hacking is a hands-on approach to making new tools for self-exploration, in order to change the way we think, feel, and live. Its an inside out perspective on how technology can serve us by changing our relationship to the world, rather than the world itself. (note: This is NOT about unauthorized or forced influence over anyone or anything.)

The meeting will consist of two sections, each with three 20 minute shares. If you'd like to share/present something (categories are below) then post it to the message board (https://www.meetup.com/Consciousness-Hacking-Meetup-Santa-Cruz/messages/boards/thread/40402982#113519232), or message me if you prefer.

1. Show and Tell (20 min each): Bring something to present, with or without slides. It should be a concrete example of Consciousness Hacking. It might be a tool or technology that you developed, or it might be a cool commercial or otherwise already existing tool that you think is worth sharing.

2. Idea Oven (20 min each): Bring an idea, that might be half-baked, and receive support from the community to take it to reality. This will be a supportive and safe space to explore a project idea where you can receive creative, practical or technical guidance. This should be a concrete idea that you genuinely plan to pursue. It will be helpful if you can work beforehand to articulate the idea as clearly as possible. You should begin your session with a 4 sentence or less description of what the project is.
