FOR OUR 3RD ANNUAL
REALITY SUMMIT
“Digital Raign offers an experience that expands what is possible through community–truly taking to heart my words "THE MORE DIGITAL WE GET, THE MORE RITUAL WE NEED".
I've witnessed this “curious tribe’s” growth and believe with their roots of Esalen and Burning Man and transformational model of "I to WE', grounded in consciousness, committed to impact through emerging technology, is foundational for our accelerating future.”

In 2016, we established the Reality Summit as an annual gathering at Esalen.
Jessie Damiani of Huffington Post touted the Summit as "a first-of-its-kind gathering... with an eye toward social impact" with this line nailing the heart of our growing global community, "I’d been to my share of tech conferences, ‘unconferences,’ gatherings, and otherwise—but I’d never attended one that facilitated such intimate, powerful bonding among attendees".
SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 5TH 2018, THE 3RD ANNUAL REALITY SUMMIT RETURNS TO THE ESALEN INSTITUTE. AS WE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE CROSS SECTOR LEADERS TO MANIFEST OUR COLLECTIVE INTENT OF DEVELOPING A Unparalleled COMMUNITY FOR THE EMERGING TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIES.
RE-IMAGINE REALITY: This intensive is focused on the nexus of transformation and innovation.
The emergent technology revolution and the mindfulness movement are powerful change agents that can be utilized to benefit the very evolution of our species.
In 2018, we will convene industry leaders in virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality AI, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Robotics and associated emerging technologies at the birthplace of the human potential movement.
We are creating a game changing community at the intersection of exponential technology, Impact and Mindfulness. We're co-creating the next great gathering - our vision blends high intelligence (Intellectual & emotional), intimacy & transparency, experiential with outcomes - all rooted in community, to explore the edges of emergence, purpose and technology.
WE WILL MAINTAIN OUR FOCUS ON THE INTEGRATION OF XR, SOCIAL IMPACT AND MINDFULNESS WHILE EMBRACING OUR 2017 SUMMIT EXPANSION WHICH INCLUDED; AI, ROBOTICS, BLOCKCHAIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY, CONSCIOUSNESS AND NEUROSCIENCE.
IN PREPARATION FOR THE 2018 SUMMIT, WE CONTINUE TO SCAN THE HORIZON FOR EMERGENCE; INTEGRATING AND HIGHLIGHTING BLEEDING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES, PURPOSE DRIVEN INITIATIVES AND INDUSTRY LEADERS WHILE EXPLORING THE LIMITLESSNESS OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS AS WE CONTINUE TO COMPREHEND AND ILLUMINATE THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF THE EXPERIENCE REVOLUTION.
One of the most powerful resources humans possess is attention, the capacity to direct and concentrate the mind on ideas, questions, and innovation. Our versions of 'reality' are often so fast paced that we gloss over this fundamental fact.
We can choose to hone and deepen the quality of our attention. Shifting How we tend to ourselves, to each other, to planet earth while embracing emergent technology. In fact, when integrated with mindful attention, these technologies have the potential to provide us with better tools, expanding our capacity for enrichment, achievement and success.
As the human race rapidly accelerates, we can embrace the limitless potential these resources offer while utilizing them as anchors to grounded well-being and as doorways to impact initiatives.
Here is a snapshot of some of the components we will explore:
Exponential Tech Convergence
Perspective: Radical Inclusion
Consciousness Expanded: Neuroscience & Behavior Change
Distributed: Cryptocurrencies and New Governance Structures
Cause: Local & Global Challenges
Culture Creation & Transformation
Virtual Worlds: Immersive experiences explored
Next-gen Experience Economy
Collective Capacity & the Art of Possibility
The Summit is an alchemy of personal development, industry deep dive, thought leadership and network expansion in the context of outcome activation.
our intention is to continue to curate a global community of thought leaders with a deeply felt sense of connection, values alignment & commitment. One where, together, we utilize our individual & collective resources to innovate and elevate the future of humanity & the universe we share.
As always, our design is based on the intelligence and experience in the room.
