About this course

How do we design technology that deepens our humanity rather than diminishing it?

In an age where technology often fragments attention and downscales human potential, cyberdelics offer a different path.

As Aldous Huxley warned 60 years ago, "technology was made for men and not men for technology."

This course embraces that wisdom, teaching you to create experiences that serve human flourishing, deepen presence, and deepen our relational depth.

Throughout the course, you'll work on practical projects that build your portfolio while exploring cutting-edge research from neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative traditions. You'll learn from real-world case studies including experiences from the Cyberdelic Society.

This course evolves continuously, incorporating the latest developments in immersive technology, consciousness research, experience design and state engineering.

Graduates join a global community of creators shaping the future of cyberdelic technologies designed to support human potential and cultivate wisdom in the digital age.

Whether you're drawn to therapeutic applications, educational tools, artistic expression, or cultural transformation, this course provides the foundation to design cyberdelic experiences that matter, experiences that help people access deeper dimensions of themselves, connect more authentically with others, and navigate the complexities of our time with greater awareness and intention.

What you'll walk away with

By the end

Knowledge you'll gain10 points

State → Trait Design:
Understanding how temporary experiential states (awe, flow, presence) can be translated into lasting traits (resilience, empathy, mindfulness) through intentional design
Hyper-Reality Design:
The craft of creating impossible experiences that dissolve boundaries between the real and imagined, expanding what participants perceive as possible
Context Engineering:
The deliberate restructuring of the context of the experience to enhance and expand perception, cognition and cultivate integration.
Ontological Design:
The practice of designing environments that, in turn, design us back
Ethical Frameworks:
Developing a strong foundation in consent, harm reduction, inclusivity, and responsible innovation

Perspectives that may shift3 points

Designing technology that deepens our humanity rather than fragmenting it.
Altered states as a path toward lasting altered traits.
The designer as a responsible steward of attention and meaning.

Skills you'll develop7 points

The Cyberdelic XD Canvas:
Your core design tool for mapping Reality Planes (VR, AR, MR, Generative, Biological, Cognitive), Sensory Domains, Presence Types, and Experience Flow stages
Prototyping and iterating transformative journeys.
Balancing sensory impact with psychological safety.
Evaluating and refining designs against ethical principles.
Technical Literacy:
Understanding the landscape of VR/AR/MR platforms, audiovisual systems, biofeedback devices, and emerging technologies, not to build them yourself, but to speak the language, evaluate possibilities, and collaborate effectively with technical teams
