ABOUT US


Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is a new platform that marries mysticism and technology to inspire urgently needed hopeful approaches to how we shape future technology.

We are a global editorial, event and workshop platform that makes ancient wisdom relevant again and looks for the spirit in tech. Because we believe the future of technology is spirited.

We do this to make you, the custodians of the future, seen to one another. So that, together, we can create tech that is more human, more soulful and better for us all.

We publish quarterly online editorial with articles by the smartest and weirdest minds in the world; we hold live events to reveal new possibilities; we partner with organisations to share products through spirited storytelling; we lead workshops to bring principles of spiritual intelligence to world class teams and more.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

What we are looking for

We want to be home to brave storytelling about unchartered territories. We want writing that is easy to understand even if the subject matter isn’t. We exist to challenge old school consumer-led publications. We want to publish stories that are memorable, turbulent and thoughtful. We want to publish stories that readers talk about and want to share. Stories that wake people up.

Types of Submissions

Articles

Articles are a combination of features and OpEd pieces on topics that probe deeply into or agitate topics that range from how we think about technology in relation to natural intelligence – what wisdom we can draw on from our natural worlds; mystical practice – what can we learn from healers, seekers, gurus past and present; ancient wisdom - what indigenous guides and knowledge can teach us. We are actively seeking articles that look at engineering outcomes, links to real AI and R&D that cover these topics.

We are looking to enquire into:

— Technology in relation to love — how we care for each other, how we build care into technology, can AI have a heart

— Technology in relation to the sacred — how can we build what is sacred into algorithms, how can we look at relational AI through the lens of the sacred/meaning making

— Technology in relation to the feminine — where are the mothers of AI, where are the caretakers, the nurturers, what spiritual feminine symbols can we learn from

— Technology in relation to stewardship — how blockchain technologies and other distribution models speak to knowledge sharing histories

— Technology in relation to myth and magic — what we can learn from the power of the myth and magic, is there where we learn lessons of what is responsible and ethical

Imagery
We welcome accompanying imagery, so long as permission to reproduce the imagery has been granted. We are also happy to source visual material that will work with the feature, working closely with you.

Length
Articles can be medium to long form written pieces.
Medium form pieces are no longer than 750 words.
Long form pieces are no longer than 1,500 words.

Visual Essays

Visual essays explore similar topics as above, told through static images, moving images or audio. We also ask for a short (100 word) explanation or introduction to the visual essay. When submitting assets, please refer to these guidelines for specs.

Q&A

We also include a regular feature profiling someone through a Q&A format. This is an invitation to interview someone in the field, someone with a strong or original view in this space. The twist is, the person interviewed can be dead or alive.

Please note

In the words of Stephen King, “To write is human, to edit is divine.” We will edit your submission and will work closely with you to ensure our readers get the very best from your piece.
