About

  • The Eternal Return is a philosophical concept shared across cultures. It suggests that the universe and all existence within it are cyclical and will recur in a self-similar form an infinite number of times.

  • The first generation of the Internet fostered consumption-driven entrepreneurship, the second focused on conservation, and now we sense a third wave emerging, centered on consciousness.

  • This unconference explores entrepreneurial signals that contribute to a richer human inner world.

What is an Unconference?

An unconference is a participant-driven event in which speakers propose the topics of their talks. This format encourages more authentic stories to emerge rather than fixed agendas that might skew the outcome. The focus is on sharing knowledge, ideas, and experiences in a fluid and informal setting.

We will have an editorial review process for all submissions to ensure a collaborative and inclusive selection. Once selected, speakers will participate in rehearsals to refine their presentations. If you’re interested in speaking at the conference, please submit your abstract and slides for consideration.

Future of Living & Working Consciously: Coliving, communes, and mindful work environments.

Mental Health: Neuroscience, psychology, and various therapies.
