Bridging Innovation and Healing for Those Who've Served
We translate frontier AI into trauma-informed tools that help veterans rebuild meaning, connection, and purpose after service.
Our Mission
Sempergeist Institute (Conway Cultural Development Corporation, EIN: 47-5065116) uses creative placemaking to strengthen communities by translating frontier AI into trauma-informed healing tools for veterans and service communities. Our platform Warrior's Return uses AI-powered storytelling and image generation to help those navigating PTSD, CPTSD, and moral injury transform internal experiences into visual narratives, processed in peer-facilitated cohorts.We bridge Silicon Valley innovation and VSO/VA infrastructure, developing the field's first therapeutic AI protocols with HIPAA compliance, crisis integration, and evidence-based outcomes—making advanced creative technologies accessible through trusted veteran service channels.
What We Do
1. AI-Powered Storytelling
Veterans transform internal experiences into visual narratives using AI tools, creating psychological distance for healing.
2. Peer-Facilitated Cohorts
Stories are processed in trauma-informed groups led by trained facilitators, building connection and belonging.
3. VSO/VA Integration
We build HIPAA-compliant platforms that work within existing veteran service infrastructure with evidence-based outcomes.The Gap We Bridge
Silicon Valley is developing powerful AI tools for human flourishing. VSOs and the VA serve millions of veterans who need innovative healing support. We connect these two worlds, translating frontier technology into trusted, effective tools for those who've served.
