About the event
Kalya is building humane technology to serve human connection. It exists because loneliness is one of the side effects of over-connection, it is what fragmentation feels like, and almost nobody puts it down by themselves.
The first thing Kalya makes is a Circle. Five minutes of presence, twice a day, together, free. Online for now, and in person as it grows.
At noon and at midnight New York time, people around the world stop and sit together for five minutes. Somewhere it is noon and somewhere it is midnight, and for five minutes people in both places are doing the same thing.
Kayla and the Whole Person Center at National University are opening this together, and you are among the first anywhere to sit in it. What comes after these first Circles will be shaped by the people who were here at the beginning.
You do not have to feel…
