Mindful Makers Hack #17 – with Spirit Tech Collective

This hack explores how to BUILD and SCALE spiritual technology, based on the learnings and guidance of the STC — what works, what doesn’t, and what builders need to turn promising ideas into real projects. We’ll explore questions including: ➡️ How can technology meaningfully support spiritual practice and development? ➡️ What kinds of spiritual technology products, startups, and communities are worth building? ➡️ How can we create an ecosystem that helps builders in spiritual technology find collaborators, resources, and support? Build a startup, prototype, project, community initiative, or contribution to the newly launched spirit.tech ecosystem. Top ideas will also have the opportunity to be connected with investors working in this space. Help shape a new ecosystem for people building at the intersection of technology and spirituality. 💡 Who Should Join Meditators, biohackers, wellness enthusiasts: Some experience with meditation is encouraged (occasional dabblers are welcome!), as we will be meditating at the beginning. Non-coders welcome: You don't need to be a programmer — we'll keep a balanced ratio of coders to non-coders (~1:1) so everyone can contribute meaningfully (laptop required). Just be prepared to learn how to build with AI, and potentially sign up for free trials of AI coding tools. 🌐 See: mindfulmakers.xyz for more details. 🗓️ Schedule 9:45 AM — Breakfast 10:00 – 10:30 AM — Welcome + Overview. 10:30 – 10:45 AM — Group meditation 10:45 – 11:15 AM — Idea brainstorming & tech setup 11:15 AM – 1:30 PM — Make! 1:30 PM — Lunch & Check-in 1:30 – 3:00 PM — Keep making! 5:00 PM – 5:45 PM — Group presentations 📍 MIT, Location available upon RSVP
