Jeremy Nickel is a technologist, entrepreneur, and ordained Unitarian Universalist minister whose work lives at the crossroads of innovation and meaning. He has spent his career building and leading technology products while asking deeper questions about consciousness, ethics, and what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world. With a background in immersive media, wellness technology, and digital community building, he brings both rigor and heart to everything he creates. As a UU minister, his spiritual grounding emphasizes curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to human dignity rather than doctrine. He is also an active psychedelic assisted therapist in Boulder, Colorado, supporting individuals in intentional, legal, and ethical therapeutic work. His work is shaped by a belief that tools do not determine outcomes, people do. Jeremy seeks to help individuals and communities engage technology and altered states of consciousness with wisdom, care, and responsibility. He lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife, Nicole Lamarche, a UCC minister, and their daughter Eliza, a freshman at Boulder High, and he loves exploring the mountains and seeing live music on the weekends.

On Spirituality and Technology

I see spirituality and technology as two expressions of the same human impulse to understand ourselves and our place in the universe. One turns inward through reflection, ritual, and relationship, while the other reaches outward through tools, systems, and shared creation. Technology itself is neutral and simply amplifies whatever values and intentions we bring to it. Our fear or hope around technology reveals more about our inner lives than about the tools themselves. When we approach technology with humility, ethics, and imagination, it can become a powerful ally in cultivating connection, insight, and care. I am drawn to the intersection of spirituality and technology because it feels like living frontier where new forms of meaning, responsibility, and collective wisdom are waiting to be shaped.
