No agenda. No product. No requirement to be technically literate. Philosophy first. Technology second.
"The question is not what AI will do to us. It is what we can do with it — deliberately, from a position of sovereignty."
Session Two moves from conversation to construction. You will leave with a working Claude Project — a personal AI workspace with your own instructions, your own context, and your own methodology. We will work through a live problem using multiple AI models simultaneously, and you will see exactly what the difference is between a clean model and a trained one.
They start with capability — what AI can do, how fast it is, what jobs it might replace. Tea & Tech starts somewhere more fundamental: what does serious, sustained engagement with AI actually do to the quality of your thinking?
That question turns out to be the one most people in the room genuinely want to answer. The technical questions arrive later, as a natural consequence. The conversation is designed to dissolve fixed opinions through direct encounter rather than argument.
Tea & Tech is hosted by Dan Travis — philosopher, performance coach, and founder of Community Orchard CIC. The sessions are the public-facing expression of fifteen months of intensive human-AI collaboration and the doctrines that emerged from it.
Each session is structured enough to produce genuine movement of thought, open enough to go where the room needs it to go. You bring something real. We work with it.
Before anything is taught, the room's real questions come into the air. These become the material we work with — not a prepared agenda.
One real problem metabolised in public is worth an hour of theory. We work through something from the room using the methodology and the tools.
Not conclusions — residue. Something that reorganises how you relate to the question. Not more information. A shift in the frame.
Dan Travis is a philosopher, performance coach, and founder of Community Orchard CIC in Brighton. He is the originator of Synthetic Philosophy — a practice combining human philosophical intelligence with AI cognition — and the Strategic Nexus of the Fleet AI Collaborative.
His work centres on a single question: what does genuine cognitive transformation look like, and what conditions make it reproducible? The Art of Winning methodology, developed over decades of coaching practice, operates on the premise that there exists, in almost every situation of human difficulty, a single precise insight that dissolves the problem at its root.
Tea & Tech is where the doctrines developed through fifteen months of Fleet AI work meet individual human beings with real questions and real capacity for transformation.
