Evoking Stillness through Technology
The Golden Thread is a vision-led initiative that weaves together ancient wisdom and modern technology to create sacred spaces of reflection, healing, and emotional depth. Each app in the project reflects a different strand of this thread — all rooted in presence, compassion, and trust.
🌿 Holding Space
A digital sanctuary for emotional presence and self-reflection.
- Journal or speak your inner truth
- Gently attuned AI companion
- Healing soundscapes
- Wisdom from sacred stories
🕊️ Beyond Silence
A trauma-informed support app rooted in peace and post-conflict healing. Created for regions shaped by generational wounds — beginning with Northern Ireland.
- Anonymous use by default
- Zero surveillance, full protection
- Designed with cultural sensitivity and deep privacy
🔥 StillHere
An app to support recovery from addiction — not through pressure, but presence. A space to begin again, with no shame.
- Daily reflections and breath rituals
- Gentle accountability through care
- Suggested-donation model, no paywalls
🌕 100 Steps
A structured meditation journey based on the foundational practices of the Hanmi Buddhist tradition — gently guiding users through 100 days of committed inner work.
- One step at a time — consecutive, not competitive
- Biometric integration (optional) for breath and state tracking
- Progress marked by depth, not performance
