There's so much I could say... It makes my stomach churn to think about how manipulative this can be. I'm working on a Delphi expert panel to understand perspectives of professional spiritual care providers towards AI adoption--so will have a consensus opinion to report in the future.

There has been an absolute deluge of these apps lately, as also discussed at NYT and elsewhere: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/u...

At our inaugural @spiritedcollective.bsky.social SPIRITED'25 Conference last week, we even had some talks from researchers focusing on this.

Welcome, everyone! :) We can keep using this starter pack moving forward. As you invite new students and CSCS community members, please let them know about it!

My talk is the last talk in a session titled "Palliative Care," however spiritual care applies universally for **anyone** experiencing challenges or crises with meaning and purpose, loving or feeling loved, or a sense of belonging. Please come learn more later this afternoon! SIGCHI program link 👇

Can't wait to see you all at the opening plenary tomorrow...or maybe even some gentle yoga tomorrow to get centered before we begin! 🧘‍♀️ 🌇 ♥️
