Re. punk Salon: Art & Health & AI Series

What is Re.punk? Re. punk is dedicated to empower women and is promoting a regenerative lifestyle with a distinctly punk and irreverent voice. We use experimental design, artificial intelligence, and data science to demystify the complex science behind chronic disease — with a focus on autoimmune conditions. The Art & Health & AI series demonstrates the power of artistic expression to communicate complex scientific research through technology. The emotions stirred by experiencing art may also serve as a catalyst for prevention and inspire engagement in health-promoting initiatives. What are salons? The Re. punk salons are informal gatherings in spaces that provide context for the topics we want to discuss during the salon. The salons are based on: Viennese salon in the 1920s that were intimate gathering, typically hosted in a private home, where artists, intellectuals, scientists, and writers met to exchange radical ideas across disciplines — blurring the boundaries between art, philosophy, politics, and science. Who should attend and what to expect? Our salons bring together artists, founders, creatives, chefs, farmers, athletes, food scientists, activists, financial advisors, investors, technologists, expert patients, and researchers to accelerate systemic change through a regenerative lifestyle and creative science. This salon is open to everyone — including men with partners navigating autoimmune conditions, those who believe in empowering women, and anyone who wants to support Re.punk's mission through their network or resources. Why this salon theme? The Healing Power of Scent. Scent, cognition, and the body's immune response. Smell is the only sense wired directly into the brain's emotional and memory centers — it bypasses conscious thought and lands straight in the limbic system. That same wiring links scent to the body's stress response and immune function: what we breathe in doesn't just shape mood, it shapes physiology. Why at Casa Bohemia? At Casa Bohemia, we explore that connection deliberately. We'll examine the ego-centric bond between scent, mind, and body: how a single smell can bypass thought entirely and land straight in feeling, memory, and self. Through a guided exercise, you'll follow scent into memory, travel inward, and share what surfaces. The candles we burn aren't just atmosphere — they're part of the same inquiry. Hand-poured with organic, European soy wax from the UK, pesticide-free and vegetable-based, because what fills the room should be as clean as what we're asking the nervous system to respond to. Slow wax, slow burn, slow living. What is the range of topics we explore in our salons? Re. punk salons explore artificial intelligence, ethics & bias, speculative design, hybrid ecologies, biotechnology, women's health, autoimmune disease, food production systems, food as medicine, architecture & health, sports as therapy — and much more — all through the lens of women's empowerment.
