Now that the AI genie is out of the bottle, the notion of what to wish for has become more complicated. And the pitfalls harder to avoid.

Step into the evolving landscape of creativity with Agent Alyssa Henkin and discover how to create alongside AI without flattening your voice—embracing experimentation, analog thinking, and the messy, generative process that leads to work only you could make.
What to expect:

In a world optimized for speed, polish, and instant answers, truly original work still asks something different of us—slowness, uncertainty, and a willingness to stay in the mess a little longer.

In this session, you’ll explore a more grounded, sensory approach to creativity. One that reconnects you to how ideas actually take shape. We’ll touch on simple, tactile practices that can unlock new ways of thinking and help your work feel more alive, more embodied, and more distinctly your own.

Alyssa Henkin reframes AI as a tool, not a shortcut. You’ll learn how to use it selectively and strategically to create more space for the kind of deep thinking and writing that matters. And where to draw the line.

Expect fresh perspective, practical shifts, and a renewed trust in your own creative instincts, even (especially) the imperfect ones.

Bonus Opportunities:

Participants will receive an exclusive submission opportunity to share their work directly following the event.
