/ About this event
Welcome to The RelaXi Curator Lab 002: Beyond Burnout, a private multisensory SF Tech Week gathering exploring how we design new ways to relax in the age of AI.
Founders, investors, creators, designers, researchers, and cultural tastemakers are invited into an intimate afternoon at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, culture, and the senses.
In RelaXi 001, How We Relax Through Time, we explored how people across cultures and eras have used the senses to navigate emotion, pressure, memory, and change.
In 002, we move from observation to creation:
How do we design for the senses now?
RelaXi is defining a new way to relax in the age of AI: a curated multisensory platform and intellectual network for mental, physical, and social wellbeing.
Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, RelaXi challenges the status quo: emotion is not another KPI to optimize. Emotion is sensory and worth listening to.
Through live conversation, product exploration, and hands on curation, guests will explore how emotional intention and sensory design can shape new experiences beyond burnout, and how their own knowledge, taste, research, places, rituals, and ideas can become RelaXi Capsules others can practice, share, and remember.
What to Expect
🥂 A Sensory Welcome Arrive through taste, sound, and atmosphere before the conversation begins.
🧠 Beyond Burnout Panel A conversation on emotion, sensory design, AI, and the future of how we relax.
🧭 The RelaXi Founder’s Thesis Why emotion is sensory, and why the next generation of wellbeing needs direction, not another score.
📱 The RelaXi Product Preview Explore emotional intentions, sensory coordinates, and Capsules across digital, physical, and social experiences.
✨ Curator Lab: Design a Capsule See how your taste, knowledge, research, place, ritual, or idea can become a repeatable sensory experience others can practice and remember.
🤝 Conversation and Connection Meet founders, investors, creators, researchers, designers, and cultural tastemakers shaping new ways to relax.

🎨 Creators, artists, photographers, filmmakers, and designers 🏛️ Architects, interior designers, hospitality builders, object lovers, and cultural curators 📚 Book, film, music, travel, food, fashion, and city tastemakers 🧠 Researchers, neuroscientists, founders, investors, and experience builders
