In this workshop we'll delve into Holochain, a new peer-to-peer technology that has quietly appeared in the distributed technology space. Holochain takes a radically different approach to blockchain, embedding principles of biomimicry and commoning into the core of its design.



This event will challenge how you think about everything from money and currency, governance, the internet, the commons, truth and much more. You'll discover how Holochain's focus on emergence - a bottom-up social impact strategy - can lead to exponential levels of sense-making, self-organisation and adaptivity, the capacities humanity needs in the face of existential risks.



Open to anyone wanting to make a real, lasting, and positive impact on the world. Technical knowledge about blockchain or distributed technologies is not assumed.
