Ritual as Technology
Join us for a special evening exploring ritual and ceremony as technologies in their own right: tools for sense-making, creative expression, collective alignment, and transformation.

Presented by @huwd.platform x @thelibraryofesoterica

The evening will open with a ritual followed by a panel conversation with special guests and audience discussion.

The event will blend HUWD’s tech and AI friendly community, Library of Esoterica’s spiritually attuned readership and PRS’s long standing truth seekers, for what we hope will be a rich and expansive conversation that’s never taken place before.

22 February
@philosophical_research_society, Los Angeles CA

Meet our Council of Elders

Across cultures, traditions and time, elders have held and continue to hold the past, present and the future as guides who dispense wisdom through advice, experience and cultural transmission.

In our current technological, cultural and social crisis – where every ounce of the human condition is being called into question – it’s time we (and other organisations) create councils for guidance. We know we cannot do this alone.

That’s why we are forming a Council of Elders.

More than a traditional advisory board, our Council are spiritual gatekeepers, wise minds for uncertain times.

We are thrilled to announce our launch cohort, five visionaries who each represent a core principle – wisdom, design, time, machine and spirit.

Please join us in welcoming to our Council:
- Krista Tippett @onbeing
- Ivy Ross @yourbrainonartbook
- Patrick Dowd
- K Allado-McDowell @kalladomcdowell
- Danielle Krettek Cobb @ladykrettek

What if a river sent us prompts, not a machine?

In our latest essay collaboration with @superfluxstudio Jon Ardern and Anab Jain invite us to consider an irreducible intelligence — the intelligence found in living systems, like rivers reading the weather before the forecast does.

It’s a reorientation. A question about what our interfaces train us to revere — and what kind of attention they ask of us.

Comment “Myth” and we’ll DM you the full essay.

Bachelard wrote that to inhabit a space is to dream within it.

The quality of the space determines the quality of the dream. A cramped room produces cramped thoughts. A vast landscape produces expansive ones.

If this is true, and I believe the phenomenological evidence supports it, then the design of space habitats is a question about what kinds of dreams we want humanity to have.

Space Wombs, new dream by @ana.prosina from @stellaramenities. Comment “Womb” and we’ll DM you the essay.

Dreamers, you can now find us on Substack.

We are opening a new doorway to our essays. We want our ideas to travel more freely, be shared more widely as we continue to grow our community.

Once a month, we publish dreams by leading voices around the world, who like you, believe in creating new blueprints for better ways of doing and living.

NEW DREAM

On wombs, spacecraft, and the next billion years of human habitation.

In our latest essay collaboration with @stellaramenities, space architect and researcher Anastasia Prosina explores the relationship between shelter, consciousness, and human survival, drawing a line between the womb and the spacecraft.

Dreamers, we have a new online home!

A space for our work as a creative studio, the dreams we curate, the programs we host and the council that guides us.

HUWD is a reminder that machines can have spirit, people flourish with wisdom and the earth and beyond need tending to.

Dream with us to think differently, feel deeply, and engage more consciously with the world around us.

Come wander.

What kind of intelligence have we been trained to overlook?

In Intelligence of the Living World: Shaping a Collective Myth, speculative design and futures studio @superfluxstudio (Jon Ardern + Anab Jain) write about irreducible intelligence — the knowledge carried by living systems. The river reading the weather before the forecast does. The mycorrhizal network redistributing nutrients beneath the forest floor. Ways of knowing that require presence, not extraction.

If every era runs on myth, what myth are we living inside right now? Superflux argue that the old story is fraying — and that we do not get a comfortable pause while a new one is written. We are being asked to participate in shaping the next collective myth.

Superflux are presenting their first major solo exhibition, The Craftocene, at the Weltmuseum Vienna, open until August 2026.

On misremembering the smartphone, and what hope lives in devotional objects.

In the Weltmuseum’s permanent collection there is an obsidian mirror. It is a divination tool: you gaze into a dark, reflective surface to commune with forces beyond yourself. When we saw it, we immediately thought of the smartphone.

Consider the parallels. A smooth, dark slab of glass. Prolonged gazing. Communion with an entity that resides in something called “the cloud.”

What if a future relationship with such a device could be closer to the obsidian mirror than the smartphone?

Comment “Myth” and we’ll DM you our latest essay collaboration with @superfluxstudio, Jon Ardern and Anab Jain.

“Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart.”

What if ritual and technology shared the same origin story?

Eve Gaines, of @rituellife frames both as gestures of orientation — ancient ways we asked: How do we live? How do we belong? How do we shape what shapes us?

In this piece, originally shared as a closing ceremony in our recent Ritual as Technology conversation in Los Angeles, Eve honors the seven directions and their primal functions as original technologies: air as interface, fire as spark, water as intelligence, earth as responsibility and the field as living interface. She asks us to see silicon and digital interfaces not as departures from the sacred — but as extensions of it.

What are our interfaces teaching us to revere? And what kind of humans do they prepare us to be?

Eve Gaines is founder and steward of @rituellife, a 20-acre nature refuge in the Santa Monica Mountains. With a background in medical and psychological anthropology focused on rites and rituals, she bridges academic study with lived ceremonial experience.

Eve recited an adapted version of this piece as part of the closing ceremony for our Ritual as Technology conversation, hosted in Los Angeles by @philosophical_research_society, in partnership with @thelibraryofesoterica.

What if we considered ritual as a technology in its own right?
We gathered at @philosophical_research_society in Los Angeles to explore this idea — one that sits at the heart of everything we do.

In partnership with @thelibraryofesoterica, the evening’s conversation sat at the intersection of ancient wisdom, emerging technology, and our collective need for more meaningful ways to connect – with each other and with the tools we create.

In a time when our attention is under question, rituals offer us: structure, shared purpose, intention and collective meaning. The conversation unfolded in two main ways:
We talked about what ancient rituals teach us about sense-making, creative expression, collective alignment and transformation.

And how emerging technologies reshape how we access wisdom.

Deepest gratitude to our special guests @gg_georgie_greville, @conniebakshi, @thepearl.xyz, and @lachlanturczan for a beautiful evening of conversation, guided by @jesshundley. And to Eve Gaines @rituellife for closing the evening with a ceremony honoring the seven directions and their primal functions: air as interface, fire as spark, water as intelligence, earth as responsibility and the field as living interface.
