Digital Care Lab

In this workshop, we’ll explore our current relationship with technology, imagine what a desirable digital identity could look like, and create a symbolic avatar to guide that becoming: a seed, a talisman, a small signal from a future you.
Through reflection, guided meditation, and creative making, we’ll rethink how we want to show up online, with more softness, honesty, and care.
