I do, I undo, I redo

I will be presenting  33 tabs open: a search for soul in a digital world at the INSS Conference 'Spirituality, Consciousness, Technology and Wellbeing : Implications for Research, Education and Practice', 17-19 June, 2025.

My recent MA research explored processes of transformation in a digital world, in particular looking at algorithmic influences and archetypal possession on social media.   

The painful paradox of social media is in the promise of connection. As humans we are communal by nature, however in this landscape one is left further isolated and alienated from spiritual connectivity.  

For a topic mainly examined through the lens of ego-psychology, this presentation brings the lens of a psychotherapist and artist to investigate the impact of digital technology on relationships and self-transformation. 

Dominant mental health issues walking into the therapy room today are anxiety and depression within a culture of narcissism and burnout. Spirituality, mental health and wellbeing will be examined within the context of a digital world, in particular on social media and considers what role the transpersonal plays as a disruptor in a culture bound to screens.
