“Human beings are not like material things, whose nature cannot be changed. No matter what nature they might have inherited or created by their own actions, it can be changed, but not by mere wishing, but by acting in the right way repeatedly and patiently for some length of time.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
Soul Force in the Age of AI is a 4-week cohort experience for professionals who sense that after disruption comes rebuilding—and who want to cultivate the inner steadiness, daily habits, and moral imagination needed to help shape what comes next.
At its heart, this course is about unlearning what divides us.
Over four weeks, participants will read or listen to Breaking Bias while engaging in daily contemplative and behavioral practices drawn from the book’s PRISM framework. Participants will also work with a proprietary AI-based reflection tool, used intentionally to support self-inquiry—helping surface unexamined beliefs, habitual reactions, and unskillful patterns that quietly shape how we see and respond to the world. The arc of the program is designed to help participants notice how fear, bias, and inherited narratives arise, and how they can be gently interrupted and unlearned in daily life.
Each week, we gather live to reflect on lived experience, integrate insights from neuroscience and wisdom traditions, and relate to AI not as an authority, but as a companion for awareness, inquiry, and ethical reflection.
This is not a doomsday course. It is grounded in the rich ancestral tradition of satyagraha, or soul force—joyful optimism, disciplined hope, and the quiet, steady work of becoming the change we wish to see in the world.
“People thought of revolutions chiefly in terms of taking state power. But we’ve had revolutions, and we’ve seen how the states they created often became replicas of the ones they opposed. We have to recognize that we are responsible for the evolution of the human species. This is a question of two-sided transformation—not just the oppressed versus the oppressor. We have to change ourselves in order to change the world.”
Grace Lee Boggs
Who This Is For
This cohort is designed for professionals and change-makers who are committed to growth, healing, and responsibility in complex times, including:
Leaders and practitioners in corporate, nonprofit, philanthropy, and public-sector spaces
Community organizers, social entrepreneurs, and movement leaders
DEI practitioners and bridge-builders seeking deeper, more durable approaches
Technologists, educators, and professionals grappling with the ethical and human implications of AI
Spiritually inclined activists, peacemakers, and healers
Anyone working at the intersection of justice, healing, and systemic change
Those who wish to establish or strengthen a daily meditation and reflection practice
This cohort is especially for those who want to do something genuinely nourishing for themselves within a thoughtful, supportive community.
No prior experience with meditation or AI is required, only a willingness to reflect, practice, and learn in community.
The Challenge We’re Addressing
Many of us are carrying:
Fatigue from relentless news cycles of war, injustice, and polarization
Personal experiences of bias, exclusion, or moral injury
Digital overwhelm and a sense that technology is outpacing our wisdom
The pressure to lead, respond, and decide—often while dysregulated
Conditioned and inherited habits of fear, reactivity, and separation that quietly shape how we see and engage the world
In a culture shaped by speed and constant stimulation, even the most well-intentioned people can slip into numbness, rigidity, shame, or despair. This course offers a different path: learning how to slow down, unlearn what divides us, and build new habits of attention and care.
“In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”
— The Buddha
