A multimodal experiment in altered states of conversation, sensing for qualities of the Future Human. This took place at The Big Dinner: like pirate radio, but with dinners hosted at homes around the world, held by the Voicecraft Network.

Welcoming psychonaut and hyperhuman theorist Carl Hayden Smith, dreaming mysteries teacher Sarah Janes, biologist and neo-Shamanic practitioner Simon van der Els, artist Jon Garner, field facilitator Pamela von Sabljar, joined by philosopher Tim Adalin.
