In this episode, join me as I demo aNUma ClearLight, an immersive VR program designed to foster profound interconnection experiences. Yes, you read that right: VR as a tool for human connection.
If you’re into non-ordinary states of consciousness, peak experiences, and how technology can be something other than brain rot that might take over humanity…this one’s for you.
Following my reflections from experiencing the VR demo myself, watch my fascinating interview with the CEO of aNUma and Numadelic, Gregory Roufa. Gregory and I delve into the significance of communal experiences, the ethical use of technology, and how mortality awareness can enrich our lives. Rufa also shares his journey from a tech career to creating spiritually enriching VR experiences, emphasizing the ripple effect of positive human connections.
