Provo CHAPTER
209 members
Monthly meetups at the Provo chapter have been a long-time source of innovation and inspiration.
The Provo chapter is where it all began. As early as 2003, a small group of thinkers in Utah Valley began gathering at Lincoln Cannon’s home, drawn together by a shared conviction that faith in human exaltation demands practical, courageous action. Long before the Association had conferences, publications, or a thousand members, it had people meeting in living rooms in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains, asking what it means to take seriously both the Mormon vision of theosis and the transhumanist commitment to technological evolution. The Mormon Transhumanist Association was formally organized out of that original gathering in 2006.
That original meetup spirit never left. The Provo Chapter has continued to serve as a home base for the movement, hosting conversations about the New God Argument, compassionate creation, and what a genuinely postsecular religion looks like in practice. It remains the chapter closest to the geographic and spiritual heart of Mormon Transhumanism.
Today, the Provo chapter carries that founding legacy forward. Whether you’re a longtime member or encountering these ideas for the first time, you’re joining a community with deep roots and a bold vision: that intelligence, guided by compassion and rigorous faith, is capable of something genuinely sublime.
This year we’ve been aiming to have roughly half of our meetups consist of presentations focused on core theological concepts in Mormon Transhumanism, and the other half covering new technologies and the challenges and opportunities they present.
