CONSCIOUSNESS ENGINEERING
Spirituality is for the elite, deep technology is ultra-hyped.
Both have been put on a pedestal that only a few can access.
Neither is true.
​
IN SILENCE AI is here to help people cut through the noise of spirituality and technology so we can navigate life a little bit better. We want to democratize the real essential information that make up these two fascinating and empowering domains so people can engineer their consciounsess and reap the benefits of having the skills and knowledge in both.
Think of the body as computer hardware, themental beliefs the software.
What can we do to upgrade both for an optimized way of life?
Spiritual teachings and technological knowledge and skills are aids in enhancing quality of life.
FOUNDER, CHIEF BUILDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Jean Alfonso-Decena
In her own life, Jean experienced a fragmented way of navigating two worlds: spiritual arts and deep technology. She had to wear her yoga hat outside of her tech career, and vice versa. It was unfathomable that she was living in two "different" worlds and yet she's thriving and expanding in ways people cannot imagine. She found that intersection of spirituality and technology which led to a calmer way of being. But in the beginning, it caused conflict in her inner and outer worlds.
​
After 10 years of simultaneous spiritual and tech travels through the Mojave Dessert, Rhinebeck in NY, Central and Southeast Asia, and several cities in the US, Jean went into 10 days of deep, utter silence in a remote monastery in Sri Lanka followed by rigid training in Rishikesh, India to become a certified yoga and meditation teacher. This was followed by the biggest opportunity of her lifetime in 2018: getting into the wild space of artificial intelligence for a Berkeley-based, Google award-winning AI fintech startup where she got to embody the symbiotic relationship of spirituality and technology that helped improve her overall quality of life. Since then, she set out a mission to democratize and make accessible all the resources and experiences she garnered worth tens of thousands of dollars through several countries in more than a decade, to help people expand, evolve, live better, love more freely and express their soul mission.
Jean has worked in Silicon Valley tech companies for over 10 years leading globally-distributed cross-functional remote teams across Asia, the US, and Europe. She was one of the first few AI Trainers and Conversation Designers when AI was still nascent, evolving into an executive leadership role co-designing and building AI-powered virtual assistants. Simultaneously, Jean is certified to teach Hatha and Trauma-informed yoga, meditation, and whole food plant-based nutrition. She has married the two worlds in speaking at global tech events, coaching, mentoring, and training organizations, universities, and individuals to upgrade their skill sets, including mentoring at NYC, training an Ivy League university's faculty on Data Science, and speaking at a TEDx event in Japan where she currently lives.
