/ About this event

Technology is changing how we work, connect, create, and live—often at a pace that our bodies and minds weren’t designed to match.

As we build the future, how do we make sure we’re also building lives that allow us to flourish within it?

Tech & Human Flourishing is an immersive wellness experience exploring the physical and mental practices that help us stay grounded, resilient, and fully human in an increasingly digital world.

We’ll begin with a 45-minute, all-levels strength training session using barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and light cardio. Through movement, we’ll explore strength not just as physical capacity but as a foundation for confidence, resilience, and long-term well-being.

Then we’ll shift from activation to recovery with a 30-minute nervous system reset, incorporating guided breathwork, mindfulness, and cognitive reframing practices to help you slow down, regulate stress, and create space for mental recovery.

We’ll close with time to connect and exchange ideas with others interested in the intersection of technology, health, and human flourishing.

What to expect: 👋 6:30–6:45 PM | Gather & Welcome (15 min) Arrive, settle in, meet fellow participants, and set an intention for the evening.

🏋🏻‍♀️ 6:45–7:30 PM | Strength Training Session (45 min) We'll move together through a guided strength training session featuring barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and light cardio. Designed for all levels, the session explores physical strength as a foundation for resilience, confidence, energy, and long-term well-being.

Whether you're new to strength training or an experienced athlete, we'll focus on moving with intention and building capacity—not simply pushing harder.

😮‍💨 7:30–8:00 PM | Nervous System Reset (30 min) We'll transition from activation to recovery through guided breathwork, mindfulness, and cognitive reframing practices designed to support nervous system regulation, reduce stress, and create space for mental clarity and recovery.

🤝 8:00–8:30 PM | Closing & Networking (30 min) Come together to reflect, connect, and exchange ideas with fellow participants exploring the intersection of technology, health, and human flourishing.

No prior strength training or mindfulness experience is required.

Come move. Come reset. Come explore what it means to flourish in the future we're building.
