Cyberdelic Cities: 

How do we build cities — and lives — that honor both ritual and systemic intelligence? A conversation at the intersection of urban design, governance, wellness, and the evolving architectures of work and attention.

Join us for an evening of talks, panel discussions and live music on the future of culture, wellbeing and work in high tech, networked societies, hosted by Dark Renaissance Productions. 

Bringing together cultural leaders from the edge of art, architecture, psychedelic practice, holistic therapy and philosophy, this event asks: how can we design cities and urban spaces for meaningful connection, ritual, productivity and radical human flourishing?

What to expect?

Live music, followed by presentations and panel with Q&A.

Mikrokosmos will open the space with an immersive ritual atmosphere, followed by short talks from the three speakers. We'll then take a break, followed by a panel discussion facilitated by Raven Connolly, with plenty of audience participation. Finally, we'll close with time for networking, talking, and dancing.
