Dear Cybernauts,

We went a little quiet over the past months. Not because things slowed down, but because they accelerated.

This summer and autumn took us across conferences, festivals, and intimate research gatherings where one thing became increasingly clear:

Cyberdelics are no longer a fringe curiosity. They are quietly crystallizing into a cultural paradigm.

As we welcome 2026, we find ourselves pausing to reflect on an extraordinary year, one that stretched us, surprised us, and reminded us why this work matters.

This year, we didn't just grow, we evolved.

2025: A Year of Expansion

We showed up.

  • 18 events across 12 cities worldwide. We brought the cyberdelic ethos to new corners of the globe.
  • We opened two new Cyberdelic Society local chapters, one in Mexico City and another one in Santiago de Chile, sprouting more seeds for our global community to flourish.
  • We hosted our first Cyberdelic Hackathon, bringing together developers, artists, and visionaries to prototype the future of conscious technology.

Numbers don't measure depth, but they do show momentum.

We grew from:

We built 90% of our Learning Experience Platform, preparing to launch courses soon.

Do you have knowledge, research, or practices you would like to contribute to the community?

We're inviting community members to submit course proposals and help shape the cyberdelic curriculum.

We've expanded our presence to Substack, creating a space for longer-form reflections and deep dives.

Check out our first post where Melissa Warner defines the cyberdelic stance as a way of engaging technology consciously, treating digital systems as feedback loops that can either capture attention or cultivate wisdom, agency, and relationship.

Defining the Cyberdelic Stance

We participated in our first clinical trial with the Intangible Realities Lab and published research through the British Computer Society.

We developed the conceptual backbone of the Cyberdelic Dojo and presented it at Human Tech Week in San Francisco.

The Cyberdelic Nexus Core Database is now Live!

We're excited to announce that our digital repository is officially open.

This a living archive where you can explore the full spectrum of cyberdelic experiences, knowledge and events.

This database represents months of work organizing our collective intelligence into one accessible space.

Whether you're new to cyberdelics or have been with us from the beginning, there's something here for you to discover.

2026: The Year We Activate

If 2025 was about building, 2026 is about launching.

We will further prepare the Cyberdelic Dojo for investment conversations. We're preparing to build the MVP that turns states into traits at scale. If you are interested to get involved reach out.

This movement isn't built by a handful of dreamers.

It's built by you, the finders, creators, researchers, and practitioners who believe technology can serve human flourishing.

Stay close, and join us in co-creating the cyberdelic paradigm.
