Edgewalker Café Replay + What's Next

Dear Edgewalker community,

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the June Edgewalker Café on Artificial Intelligence from an Edgewalkers Perspective. Whether you were with us live or tuning in afterward, we invite you to watch the recording of this rich, reflective conversation with Prasad Kaipa and Bill Kirst, facilitated by Ximena Vidal.

The Zoom chat was bustling with questions and we found that one hour was simply not enough for this topic, so we're excited to announce that we're holding a second conversation in two weeks, on July 3rd, at 11am ET.

And we're also not alone in this inquiry. The Conscious Leadership Guild is also hosting an ongoing dialogue on the emerging intersection of AI and conscious leadership. More on this below!

And don't forget to mark your calendar for our July Edgewalker Café on July 24th, hosted by Edgewalker Facilitator Julia Holloway with a special guest from Lego Corporate on Lego Social Responsibility.

Reflections on Substack - Before & After the Café

If you'd like to explore the deeper threads behind the June Café, we invite you to read two short reflections on Substack -- one before and one after the event.

In the pre-Café post, I share a story that sparked this conversation and the philosophical tension behind our questions. In the post-Café post, I offer three practical takeaways I've already begun living: starting my days with flowers instead of coffee, switching my inner GPS from shame to service, and using AI as a tuning fork rather than just a productivity tool.

🤝Broader Conversations in the Ecosystem

We're excited that our friends at the Conscious Leadership Guild, led by Craig Souza are also facilitating a monthly generative conversation about AI and conscious leadership. It's a space for those willing to sit with uncertainty, reflect deeply, and co-create a wiser future together. To join the conversation, simply click “Participate in the Dialog” to join in and register for the calls. Their next dialogue session is this Wednesday, June 25th, 10am-11:30am ET/GMT-5.
