"Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty sky."
~ Ursula Le Guin
The Creation of Éa
The Winter Solstice, shortest day and longest night, has been celebrated since ancient times in many ways around the world. At this gathering we honor diverse traditions of ritual, reverence, reverie and revelry.
"I wish I could show you,
when you are lonely or in darkness,
the Astonishing Light
of your own Being!"
~ Hafez

We are transforming a 16-floor tower in San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village--a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
