Think about the world, differently.

The World-Building Lab is an immersive experience where you’ll expand your thinking, play with power, and bring visionary ideas to life.

I deeply admire how the Lab frames world-building as both creative practice and collective responsibility.

why this, why now, why not?

An invitation to pause and prototype new ways of being.

We’re not just living through change,
we’re shaping it.

Old systems are breaking open. New ones are forming.

AI is rewriting how we think, create, and work.

We’re navigating a world that no one fully understands yet, and it’s asking something new of us.

To belong here, to build here, we need new ways of thinking, collaborating, and creating.

A training ground
for human dynamics.

The World-Building Lab blends foresight, creativity, and collaboration through guided exercises, group activities, and simulations that help you practice and process complexity, uncertainty, and decision-making.

A space for ideas and
futures to emerge.

  • The Lab isn’t a course or conference—it’s an immersive, hands-on experience where you’ll explore how to think, create, and lead differently. It blends creativity, foresight, and collaboration through guided exercises, group dynamics, and simulations. You’ll test ideas, connect dots across disciplines, and build practical skills for navigating uncertainty, complexity, and decision-making.

  • The Lab is designed for founders, artists, educators, technologists, researchers, community builders, cultural leaders, and anyone exploring how to shape the future with clarity, imagination, and care. It’s for people who are actively building, transitioning, or reimagining what’s next in their work, practice, or life.

  • Unlike most retreats or courses, the lab is not about consumption, but creation. You’re not being “taught” something; you’re practicing and prototyping new ways of being, thinking, doing, and collaborating in real time. The experience is partly designed and partly emergent, shaped by the participants in the room.

  • You’ll be invited into a blend of facilitated sessions, group activities, creative exercises, and simulations that catalyze collective imagination and reflection. Some parts will be structured, while others will be open-ended or gamified.

    The energy and direction of the Lab will evolve based on who’s in the room. You’ll be stretched, but supported.

  • Everyone comes in with something—an idea, a question, a transition—and leaves with something tangible.

    You might leave with:

    • A new framework, prototype, or story.

    • A reframed perspective that changes your direction.

    • Real-time feedback and new collaborations.

    • A deeper sense of clarity, confidence, and creative momentum.

    • Your next big idea.

  • The full cost of the Lab is $900 + Tax (CAD).

    • You may be contacted to schedule a 1:1 interview

    • After the interview, you may receive an official invitation

    • Once you’ve paid for the Lab, your spot is locked in

    • You will then receive additional information to prepare for the experience

  • We’re curating a small, diverse group of curious, generous, and imaginative people from across disciplines and walks of life. Each participant is chosen with care to ensure a balance of perspectives, energy, and expertise that will make the experience dynamic and meaningful for everyone involved.

    When reviewing applications, we look for three things:

    1. Clarity of Intention – Are they clear about why they want to join the Lab and what they hope to explore or contribute?

    2. Depth & Readiness – Do they have the awareness, curiosity, and capacity to engage with the Lab’s intensity and depth?

    3. Unique Contribution – Do they bring something distinctive—an experience, perspective, or way of thinking—that will enrich the collective?

  • We can only accept a limited number of participants for every Lab, and we’re curating the group to ensure a diverse range of perspectives, experiences, and expertise.

    If you’re not selected this time, don’t worry —you’ll be added to the waitlist and among the first to hear when future Labs become available.

    We encourage you to apply again.

  • Due to the nature of the experience and the limited number of spots, all payments are final. Once your payment is processed, we do not offer refunds.

    If you’re unable to attend after being selected, please let us know as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding and respecting the integrity of the process.
