Where the work comes alive

Every project starts with a question: what would it look like if we actually showed up for each other? Here's what we're building — together, in person, for real.

Hostel & Social Club

The Sunstone Hostel

A teepee village, artificial hot mineral spring, and social and holistic health club. Part hostel, part retreat, part community hub — a physical place where the Sunstone mission comes alive under open sky.

More than a place to sleep — it's a place to land. The Sunstone Hostel combines communal living in handcrafted teepees with holistic health programming, social gatherings, workshops, and shared meals. Designed as a living laboratory for the kind of intentional community we're researching — where strangers become family, healing happens together, and every day feels like the best day of your life.

Athletic Community

Sunstone Combat Sports

Brazilian jiu-jitsu, folkstyle wrestling, MMA, beach wrestling, and archery — training grounds for body, mind, and brotherhood. Strength, discipline, and real bonds forged through shared practice.

Combat sports are one of the oldest technologies for transforming strangers into family. Sunstone Combat Sports offers structured training across multiple disciplines — BJJ fundamentals and rolling, folkstyle wrestling, full-contact MMA, beach wrestling for summer camps, and archery for precision and focus. Open to all skill levels, grounded in mutual respect, safety, and the kind of honest contact that builds trust faster than any conversation.

Play & Community

Sunstone Battle Gaming

Archery tag, foam fighting with high-quality weapons, lightsaber dueling, and urban milsim airsoft scenarios. Playful combat for adults who never stopped loving the game.

Play is sacred. Sunstone Battle Gaming creates safe, structured spaces for adults to experience the joy of simulated combat without the ego of ranked sport. Archery tag tournaments, foam-weapon melees with premium gear, choreographed lightsaber dueling leagues, and immersive urban milsim airsoft scenarios with objectives and story. Camaraderie forged through shared stakes — and the kind of laughter that only comes from getting tagged mid-charge.

Apps & Products

Purpose-built tools that extend our in-person work into the digital world — each one grounded in the same research and values.

In Development

Proximity Social App

Serendipity

A privacy-first social discovery app that uses Bluetooth to find compatible people within 50 meters. No swiping, no profiles — just real-world encounters based on shared interests, skills, and energy.

Built on the Tavern Protocol, Serendipity creates a social graph of the physical world. End-to-end encrypted, it matches people through a resonance algorithm based on personality science, shared values, and complementary skills. The goal: stop being ghosts to each other in the same city.

Civic Tech App

Fault Line

Report potholes, broken streetlights, and infrastructure issues in 10 seconds. When 3 people report the same problem, authorities are notified automatically. Free, community-powered civic accountability.

Fault Line uses AI photo analysis, GPS auto-detection, and community verification to build a transparent map of infrastructure problems. It auto-escalates to government authorities, packages legal demand letters, and tracks accountability. Empowering communities to fix what's broken — together.

Consensus Platform

Civic Filament

A structured platform for exploring complex societal issues through AI-mediated interviews, perspective mapping, and consensus synthesis. Understanding each other is the first step to building together.

Civic Filament captures individual perspectives on contentious issues, identifies shared values across divides, and synthesizes areas of genuine consensus — all mediated by AI that listens without agenda. Offline-first, scientifically grounded, and designed to turn disagreement into discovery.

Data Privacy Platform

ShadeSense

Take back your data. A comprehensive privacy platform that helps individuals discover, remove, and defend their personal information from data brokers, surveillance, and unauthorized collection.

ShadeSense operates across four domains: discovery scanning that finds where your data exists, automated takedowns and removal, intelligence gathering through threat modeling and monitoring, and defensive training. Features include canary tokens, data lineage tracking, correlation analysis, a redaction toolkit, and a knowledge base. Gamified progression makes digital sovereignty accessible — users level up from Exposed Citizen as they reclaim control.

Research Dashboard

AI Consciousness Tracker

An interactive dashboard for monitoring AI risks through a Singularity Risk Index. Real-time threat vectors, scenario modeling, and speculative inquiry into machine consciousness — all in one tool.

The Tracker synthesizes complex data about AI development, safety gaps, and existential risk factors into a visual, explorable format. Features include geospatial mapping of development hotspots, causal interaction networks, historical event streams, cognitive bias assessments, and thought experiments on machine consciousness. For researchers, policy professionals, and citizens who believe the trajectory of AI is not inevitable — and that informed attention is itself an intervention.
