Welcome, I’m Domenic Ashburn.
I care deeply about developing human awareness so we may wield technology with virtue.
I’m building The Sacred Act, generative meditations to scale awakening by blending ancient wisdom, calm design, and AI.
You can reach me via email, find me on Instagram, or work with me directly.

Work with Domenic
We get on a call and build the first AI system for your practice together, then you leave with a plan for the rest. Ninety minutes, nothing for you to set up.
