AI Series
Artificial intelligence is a part of our changing world, shaping how we work, learn, create, govern, and relate to one another.
We need to learn more and talk about it.
For many people, AI brings a mix of awe and anxiety. Curiosity and concern. Hope, fear, grief, excitement, resistance.
This workshop series creates space to slow the conversation down.
Rather than rushing to answers, we ask better questions. Rather than framing AI as either salvation or doom, we explore it as a mirror, examining it through the lens of our values.
These workshops are designed for communities that want to engage AI thoughtfully, ethically, and together.
A different kind of AI conversation
This is not a (strictly) technical training.
It’s not a debate.
And it’s definitely not a sales pitch for “the future.”
Instead, this series offers:
- Shared language for talking about AI without panic or hype
- Educational resources for understanding this emerging technology
- Space to name fear, grief, and ambivalence as legitimate responses
- Ethical reflection grounded in lived values, not abstraction
- A relational, community-centered approach to discernment
- Scientific clarity paired with spiritual and moral imagination
We explore AI not just as a tool, but as something embedded in social systems, economic incentives, histories of bias, and human longing
A three-part sermon series about AI, delivered at the Unitarian Church of Evanston in summer 2025:
Who this series is for
This series works well for:
- Congregations and faith communities
- Boards and leadership teams
- Educators and campus groups
- Nonprofits and values-driven organizations
- Communities navigating rapid change or uncertainty
Especially for groups asking:
How do we meet this moment without losing ourselves or each other?
Formats & customization
The AI & Interdependent Web series can be offered as:
- A multi-session workshop series (typically six sessions)
- A standalone introductory session
- Retreat or conference programming
Each offering is adapted to your community’s context, capacity, and concerns
An invitation
AI will continue to evolve.
The deeper question is how we do.
These workshops invite communities to practice discernment, courage, and care, so that our response to technological change is shaped not just by what is possible, but by what is worthy.
If your community is ready for a conversation that is honest, humane, and values-rooted, I’d love to explore what this could look like with you.
