# Event Details - **Event Name**: Meaning After Role Loss in the Age of AI - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: ➤ A lecture-based, reflective workshop on role loss, meaning, and rebuilding purpose in the age of AI.About this EventWe are living through a moment of profound change. As technology reshapes work, creativity, and productivity, many people are quietly grappling with a deeper question beneath the headlines: If my role, job, or expertise changes—or disappears—who am I then?This lecture-based, reflective workshop explores the psychological and emotional impact of role loss in the age of AI—not just job loss, but the loss of identity, structure, purpose, and meaning that so often accompanies it. Rather than focusing on fear or prediction, we’ll look at what role loss actually asks of us as human beings, and how meaning can be reconstructed beyond productivity or performance.Drawing from psychology, trauma-informed perspectives, and identity theory, this workshop offers language and frameworks for understanding why these changes can feel destabilizing—and how to navigate them with more clarity, compassion, and steadiness.Gentle reflective and imaginal exercises will be woven in to help participants connect the material to their own lived experience.✨ This workshop may be especially relevant if you:Feel unsettled or anxious about the future of work or AIHave experienced job loss, role change, or identity disruptionTie a strong sense of self-worth or meaning to productivity or expertiseFeel “unmoored” or uncertain about who you are becomingSense grief or disorientation you can’t quite name✨ Participants will leave with:A clearer understanding of role loss as a psychological and emotional processLanguage to name grief, disorientation, and identity shiftsA reframed relationship to meaning beyond work or outputA sense of grounding and perspective during cultural uncertaintyThis workshop is not about resisting technology or finding quick answers. It is an invitation to meet this moment with curiosity, humanity, and a deeper understanding of how we make meaning when familiar structures change.✨ Event DetailsTuesday, June 23 · 5:30 - 7pm$27Limited to 20 people.Additional Details:Registration required.
