48 Hour Comedy Lab
A 48-hour immersive lab that brings together Sedona comedians, editors, chefs, and production artists to create clean, uplifting short-form comedy inspired by Sedona's imagination and innovation.
The 48 Hour Comedy Lab is built around the cosmic awkwardness of being human at a time when everything, from ancestors to aliens to higher selves, may be trying to get our attention. The joke is not that these beings exist. The joke is that they might be sending us wisdom while we are busy checking our phones, arguing with the toaster, or missing the obvious signal completely.
Over one weekend, comedians, editors, writers, performers, chefs, and production artists gather in Sedona to create clean, uplifting short-form comedy for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The lab becomes a fast-moving creative studio where weird ideas get filmed before they lose their sparkle. It is comedy as cultural acupuncture: light, sharp, surprising, and aimed at waking something up.

LightNet
The world's first consciousness research data platform. Six curiosity labs where people explore purpose, recovery, levitation, spoon bending, and the frontier edges of human potential.
Spoon Bending
After teaching over 1,100 people to bend spoons across 8 years and counting, Zenka Caro's Spoon Bending Lab turns the impossible into something you can hold in your hand. Learn to bend reality, break the spell of limitation, and step into lucid living.
Holomovement Purpose Lab
The Purpose Lab turns 100+ Awaken Your Purpose podcast interviews into a 7-stage map for discovering what you are here to do. Through a resource search engine, a feature film, and Teams of 8-12, it helps people move from “What am I here to do?” into the courage, clarity, and community to actually do it.
