This week, we have the honor of hearing from Sri and Sophie from Eden:
Eden is building an AI-enabled consumer app that helps people to navigate challenges in their relationships using therapy modalities like CBT and IFS. Eden’s all-in-one app helps those anxiously attached with bite-sized psychoeducation lessons and an AI-toolbox to navigate and heal triggers.About the co-founders:

Join us!
Who are we? We are a multidisciplinary group of innovators from neuroscience, Brain Computer Interface (BCI), Human Computer Interaction design (HCI), psychotherapy, arts, plant medicine, somatic healing, and other ancient wisdom practices interested in building a holistic Wellbeing Economy that's regenerative, life-sustaining, and positive sum. There are currently about ~90 of us physically located around the world. Across academic, industry, and startup contexts. We gather weekly in person in San Francisco.
Together, we explore shared concerns and curiosities about the impact of a new wave of emerging technologies on human well-being: from AI to next-gen biosensors (such as BCI), and others. We aim to channel technology's power to heal our connections to Self, Each other, and the Planet.
We advocate for systems change - positive futures where Technology and Capital support human and planetary flourishing. Not the other way around. Conscious tech means:
1. Technology that helps to expand individual and collective consciousness towards mindful love and compassion (e.g. mental health tech, tech for wisdom) and abundance.
2. Technology that's crafted with mindful conscious intentions and processes (e.g. calm tech, ambient computing) and a truly life-centric orientation, minding the complex systemic dynamics that a product and service reside in.
Our 4 pillars of action are:
1. Community Building
2. Translational Research
3. Movement Building
4. Product Incubation
