AsFarAs: Embracing AI Weekend
St. Moritz, Switzerland

Hotel Kulm
AI is a new kind of relationship.
AI is already closer than a colleague, often closer than a friend — and it will, for most of us, be a consequential presence for the rest of our lives.
This Alpine weekend is designed for hands-on exploration and reflection on the emerging ways that we relate to AI, with multi-disciplinary perspectives from around the world.
Explore four ways of using AI
AI as a Mirror
What happens when something begins to know you—almost as well as you know yourself? AI doesn’t just answer; it reflects. In a series of guided encounters, you’ll see your patterns echoed back to you—sometimes accurately, sometimes uncomfortably—and begin to notice what you’ve been missing.
Day 1
AI as a Mediator
Every relationship has a third presence now. Sometimes it’s invisible, sometimes it speaks. AI drafts our messages, reframes our conflicts, softens or sharpens our words. Through live experiments and dialogue, we’ll explore how it changes the space between us—and what we gain, or lose, when it does.
Day 2
Day 3AI as a Creator
There’s a moment when the blank page is no longer blank. You begin, and something begins with you. AI can extend your thinking, challenge your instincts, and surprise you with directions you didn’t expect. In shared creative sessions, you’ll explore what it means to make something not alone, but together.
Day 4AI as a System
At first, it feels like a tool. Then it starts to feel like something else. You ask, it responds—but over time, a rhythm forms. In this retreat, you’ll engage AI not just functionally, but relationally, and confront the quiet question beneath it all: what kind of system are you actually in?

Meet your guide for the AI Weekend: Travis Hollingsworth
Travis has built and launched 10+ AI products inside the companies that have shaped how most of us encounter it:
AI chatbots at Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp
Wearable health companions at Apple
Therapeutic companions for teens at Sonar
Interactive AI media products at Sky
He was the keynote speaker at the OpenAI Summit 2025 on Our Personal Companion of the Future.
Travis has been coming to the Engadin for 7 years since graduating from Stanford. As a product designer, he has explored the question: What AI is doing to the people who use it — how they think, write, work, and love? This weekend is built from inside that question.

The cost, and what it pays for
We chose the Engadin because it is one of the few places that can hold a weekend like this — and one of the most expensive corners of Europe. Rather than absorb that into a single price, we have done something simpler. The figures above are the cost of bringing thirty people here for four days, broken into three options.
These costs are not a measure of what it will be worth to you. At the end of the four days, you can add to your invoice whatever feels honest — or not. There is no suggested figure and no expectation either way. We will say more about this when you arrive.
If the cost is the deciding factor between joining and not, please write to us first.

“I go from one technology conference to another. The word relationship is never mentioned. There are moonshots about everything — environment, education, health, transportation. Nobody ever is looking at a moonshot for relationships. And yet all these technologies are profoundly affecting how we relate to each other, how we relate to ourselves."
— Esther Perel, Artificial Intimacy
“I fear that we are beginning to design ourselves to suit digital models of us, and I worry about a leaching of empathy and humanity in that process."
— Jaron Lanier, You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto
“Where we start to move forward is when we learn to ask questions which are less concerned with 'Are you like us?', and more interested in 'What is it like to be you?'"
— James Bridle, Ways of Being
“If you know what you want in life, technology can help you get it. But if you don't know what you want in life, it will be all too easy for technology to shape your aims for you and take control of your life. Especially as technology gets better at understanding humans, you might increasingly find yourself serving it, instead of it serving you.”
— Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
“We have to love technology enough to describe it accurately. And we have to love ourselves enough to confront technology's true effect on us."
— Sherry Turkle, Alone Together
“The primary political and philosophical issue of the next century will be the definition of who we are."
