# The Mormon Transhumanist Association Has a New Home

Explore the rebuilt transfigurism.org—a deeper library, topical guides, and community tools for those who take both faith and the future seriously.

*A rebuilt **[transfigurism.org](http://transfigurism.org)**: more content, more ways to connect, and a foundation for the next chapter of the Association’s work.*

There’s a question this Association has always confronted: what does it mean to take both faith and the future seriously, at the same time, without flinching from either? The new [transfigurism.org](http://transfigurism.org) is built around that question. It is a rebuilt, expanded home for the ideas, people, and projects that make Mormon transhumanism a living tradition rather than a passing curiosity.

This is not a fresh coat of paint. The site has been rebuilt from the ground up, consolidating years of published content into a single organized library, adding new resources for learning and conversation, and creating real infrastructure for community. Whether you’ve been part of this community for years or just found your way here, the new site offers more to explore and more ways to participate than anything the Association has published before.

## A Deeper Library

The most substantial change is the breadth and coherence of the content. Articles published across years of the Association’s life now live in one place, organized and searchable alongside a growing set of new resources.

The [Topical Guide](/topical-guide) is new and worth your time. It covers nearly 300 subjects, moving between the theological vocabulary of the Restoration and the technical vocabulary of the futures the Association cares about. Entries on theosis sit beside entries on AGI. Resurrection is in there alongside cryonics, gene therapy, and longevity escape velocity. The point is not to flatten the differences between these ideas but to take seriously that they are in genuine conversation with each other.

The [quotations collection](/quotations) gathers voices from scripture, Latter-day Saint leaders, philosophers, scientists, and transhumanist thinkers. [Author biographies](/authors) situate those voices in context. A [video library](/videos) of talks, podcasts, and conference recordings offers hours of substantive engagement with the ideas at the heart of the Association’s work.

New pages include a detailed [FAQ](/about/faq), a [Resources](/resources) hub, [News & Podcasts](/news-and-podcasts), and a [What We’re Building](/what-we-re-building) section introducing active Association projects, including [Project Lazarus](/what-we-re-building/project-lazarus) and the [State of Deseret](/what-we-re-building/state-of-deseret), each of which will receive dedicated follow-up coverage.

## A Homepage Worth Returning To

The redesigned homepage introduces two complete 24-hour animated themes: **Western** and **Alpine**, each unfolding across the day with changing light, atmosphere, motion, and small discoveries. Visitors may want to come back at different hours just to see what has changed: what appears in the distance, what moves through the landscape, what new detail suggests itself after a second or third look.

Together, the animations offer a glimpse of a possible bright future for humanity: one in which technology has become more humane, more beautiful, and more deeply integrated with the natural world. On the primer pages, vintage foreground illustrations add another layer to that vision. Historical figures and older visual forms stand before animated scenes of future possibility, creating a playful anachronism that invites reflection on deep time: where we have been, where we are going, and how much of human potential still waits ahead.

## New Ways to Ask and Explore

The site now includes several [chat agents](/chat) for those who want to engage with Mormon transhumanist ideas conversationally rather than through browsing alone. MTABot handles broad questions about the Association and its ideas. A multiple-perspectives council mode brings several distinct viewpoints to bear on a single question at once. And a voice agent patterned on the works of Parley P. Pratt offers something genuinely different: a speech-based conversation rooted in the theological imagination of one of the Restoration’s most forward-looking early thinkers.

## Community Infrastructure

The platform now supports the practical work of gathering. Members can find **regional chapters**, browse upcoming **events**, RSVP, and receive reminders by email or text. The Association’s membership has always been more geographically spread than a Utah-centric map would suggest, and the site is now built to honor that.

## Store and Artwork

The new [store](/store) opens with apparel, accessories, collectibles, and artwork, including the [Transfigurist Artwork Series](https://mta.localhost/store/artwork/framed-prints): original designs that give visual form to themes at the heart of Mormon transhumanism. Members can also apply eligible store proceeds toward membership dues.

## A Foundation for What Comes Next

The site also lays groundwork for growth that won’t be immediately visible but matters for the long run: multilingual support, improved search and discovery, RSS feeds, structured sharing, and a public content service that allows other applications and AI systems to access the Association’s published resources.

This is the overview. Follow-up posts will go deeper on the homepage design, the chat agents, Project Lazarus, the State of Deseret, and the Transfigurist Artwork Series.

For now, the invitation is simple: **visit ****[transfigurism.org](http://transfigurism.org)**, spend some time, and let us know what you find. The site is new, and your feedback will help shape what it becomes.
