Expanding Human Potential and Consciousness:
Private AI Salon

June 28, 2026
Washington, D.C.

As artificial intelligence reshapes our institutions and economy, a critical question emerges: What makes human intelligence irreplaceable?

You are invited to join Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and a select group of attendees in science, technology, policy, and innovation for a private exploration of consciousness as humanity’s strategic advantage in the age of AI.

The Institute of Absolute Intelligence is pioneering inquiry at the intersection of ancient contemplative traditions and modern neuroscience, exploring capacities like intuition, creativity, and insight that represent the frontier of human potential. 

Sunday, June 28, 2026
4:00–6:00 PM
Doors open 3:45 PM for light refreshments

Why This Evening Matters:
The Strategic Context
At a moment when AI threatens to commoditize cognitive work, understanding the uniquely human dimensions of intelligence, including intuition, wisdom, and consciousness, becomes a matter of national and even civilizational importance.
Research Presentation:
Dr. Emma Seppälä
Yale researcher and author exploring the neuroscience of resilience, intuition, creativity, and decision-making under uncertainty. These are all cognitive capacities increasingly vital as AI handles routine analysis.
Brief Special Address by Gurudev
Founder of the Art of Living Foundation (reached 800M+ globally) and advisor to leaders across the globe, Gurudev bridges 5,000 years of contemplative science with contemporary applications. His work spans conflict resolution, interfaith dialogue, and human development programs. His World Culture Festival saw 1.1 million people gather in 2023 on the National Mall in DC.
Live Demonstration: Mindsight
Witness empirical demonstrations of heightened perceptual awareness. These feature young practitioners demonstrating documented abilities that challenge conventional models of consciousness. These capabilities, studied across contemplative traditions, suggest latent human potential yet to be systematically developed.
Curated Dialogue
Join scholars, policy leaders, educators, and innovators exploring the implications for education, leadership development, organizational culture, and human flourishing in a brave new world.
AI is here, but what’s next?

This conversation is about ensuring we develop the human capacities that make AI a tool rather than a replacement. We would be honored by your presence at this inaugural Washington gathering. RSVP Link to confirm your attendance by June 20th. Space is limited to ensure meaningful exchange. ​

01 How does intuitive scanning work?

James had spent years in a career that didn’t fulfill him but was uncertain about changing direction. A single Intuitive Life Scan session revealed specific talents he wasn’t utilizing and identified a clear path forward. Six months later, he had transitioned to a new role that better matched his abilities and significantly increased his satisfaction and success.

The Institute of Absolute Intelligence is a research and education initiative exploring the science of human consciousness in theory and application.
