"The Human Energy Global Salon was one of the most thought-provoking and energizing experiences I've had in the AI space. In an industry saturated with buzzwords and speed-to-market obsession, this event was a refreshing and deeply needed recalibration.”
— Anna Langhorne, Chief Privacy & Responsible AI Officer at Arvinas
The Human Energy Global Salon Series is a bold, international forum designed for collective inquiry at the intersection of technology, society, and consciousness. These events convene dynamic thinkers—including scientists, philosophers, technologists, artists, ethicists, and innovators—for transformative, interdisciplinary conversations. Each Salon is intimate yet expansive, hosted in beautiful venues around the world and live-streamed globally to spark deep inquiry, dynamic exchange, and real-world impact.
Continuing the historic tradition of Enlightenment‑era salons, Human Energy curates gatherings reminiscent of Madame Geoffrin’s 18th‑century salons and the vibrant cultural scenes of Stein and the Harlem Renaissance. In today’s era of rapid technological change and ecological uncertainty, these Salons offer immersive, interdisciplinary spaces where diverse perspectives converge. Their purpose is to ignite deep thinking, bridge ethics and innovation, and cultivate planetary-scale narratives through meaningful conversation.
Join us for an immersive evening of dialogue, connection, and insight.
“We had a fantastic evening at the Human Energy Global Salon in Manhattan. The curated conversation at the dinner tables brought together people from industry, academia, and the activist-slash-nonprofit space in a unique and genuinely productive way. And I'm grateful for the ongoing connections. The whole evening went by too quickly!”
— Andrew Chignell, Laurance S. Rockefeller University, Center for Human Values, Princeton University
Satellite Salons are intimate, locally-hosted gatherings that bring people together to explore meaningful ideas and cultivate authentic connection. As part of the Human Energy Global Salon Series, they serve as community-scale nodes in the emerging noosphere—spaces where conversation becomes a form of collective intelligence and shared aliveness.
Each salon blends thoughtful preparation with organic dialogue, supported by curated content, structured facilitation tools, and access to expert guidance. By hosting a Satellite Salon, individuals create transformative spaces for reflection, connection, and insight—bridging personal experience with planetary consciousness.
The Human Energy Salon Series is one way we are responding to the techno-social dilemma—an effort to consciously evolve our human-technology relationship and to create real-world counterpoints to digital overload. These gatherings are small by design, fostering authentic human-to-human exchange where participants aren’t just passive observers, but active co-creators of meaning.
Salons generate “human energy.” Not metaphorically, but experientially. They cultivate what we call metaliveness: a felt sense of being alive together—physiologically, cognitively, and emotionally.
By convening thinkers, creators, and leaders around essential questions, our current challenges and future possibilities, these salons become local expressions of the noosphere—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s vision of an evolving sphere of shared human consciousness.
In 1920s Paris, Teilhard often engaged with intellectual salons hosted by forward‑thinking women. One notable salonnière was Léontine Zanta, a pioneering philosopher and the first French woman to earn a PhD in philosophy, whose gatherings helped shape Teilhard’s thinking. These salons were vibrant spaces where women of intellectual influence—like Marguerite Teillard‑Chambon and Léontine Zanta—introduced him to audiences that transcended traditional academic or ecclesiastical venues.
In every conversation, we advance the emergence of a narrative that integrates science and meaning, reason and reverence, toward a flourishing humanity and a healthy planet.
The Global Salon Series is all about creating meaningful experiences for both the individuals and communities that participate in them. We’re honored and happy to amplify the experiences and insights reflected back to us by past participants
“The event felt exceptionally well-structured, intimate, and purposeful, and already infused with shared inquiry from the moment we arrived.”
