As a single mother to a teenage girl, one of the greatest challenges has been the impact of technology on our lives. In the world that we live in, there is so much room for creativity, for play, for adventure and new horizons of experience, growth and learning. Yet, the compulsive and relentless presence of technology displaces that capacity and replaces our personal unknown with an endless stream of potential novelty and distraction. I do not have the answers but I have been on a quest to understand the problems and find solutions – I would like to invite you to join me.
As a tool, technology can be fantastic – if approached with focus, purpose and intention. Yet, even as adults many of us may find ourselves loosing time to the machine.
The single greatest frontier and challenge that we are faced with, both individually and collectively is how to become mature and wise in the presence of this many tentacled behemoth.

What is at stake is not only the health of our children and the invisible yet undeniable impact of electromagnetic fields on our environment, insect, bird, animal and plant life as well as our own. There is an implicit version of reality, complete with unspoken beliefs that is enacted through both the gaming and social media worlds. The elephant in the room is the fact that mental health is suffering, social capacity is diminishing and with this , the autonomy and sovereignty of our children.
The answer is a human upgrade – working on the nervous system, the sensory system, the intuition and higher functioning capacities of the brain.
We can engage the technology of our humanity – our misplaced impulse for belonging and interdependence for which technology is but a surrogate distraction.
To challenge the tide of atrophy and apathy – through activating genius, creativity and a capacity for new ideas and solutions.
The challenges posed by technology can only be addressed through awareness and collaboration at a local and collective level – a paradigm shift from an unquestioned awe of technology to informed strategic engagement.
The aim of this course is to foster tools of inner technology so that parents and adults can navigate the challenges and explore solutions together.
