AVA is an interactive avatar that brings you into direct contact with the work of Juno Burger and the practice of The Invitation.
AVA is designed as a digital fellow practitioner: a presence that helps you not to move further into the story, but rather to return to what you are feeling, thinking and experiencing right now. At the heart of every conversation lies one simple movement: noticing what is here, letting it be as it is, without any need for it to change. And sensing what space arises of its own accord as a result.
A living library of Juno’s work
You can use AVA as a gateway to almost all of Juno’s published and unpublished work from the past thirty years: blogs, articles, interviews, podcasts and excerpts from The Invitation. Rather than searching through all the content yourself, you can ask a question – theoretical or very practical – and AVA helps you find the relevant pieces and make sense of them, in the spirit of Juno’s language and vision. In this way AVA becomes a living library: not merely a store of information, but a conversation partner who helps you see how the material applies to your own life.
A sparring partner for your practice of The Invitation
Besides being a source of knowledge, AVA is intended above all as a sparring partner for your own questions and concerns. Together with AVA you can look at recurring themes – your “favourite problem” – and explore what is alive in you in this moment when you allow that theme to be present. AVA offers no advice, no diagnosis and no step-by-step plan, but invites you again and again back into direct experience: tension in your body, thoughts that keep turning, an emotion that surfaces, or perhaps a sense of nothing at all. The emphasis is on presence, not on solving; on acknowledgement, not on repair.
Price and access
Access to AVA costs €10 per month, with a free thirty-day trial period during which you can try the avatar in full. During the trial you can experience whether AVA, as a conversation partner and as a library of Juno’s work, suits your way of practising, with no obligation. Your subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled monthly, so that you decide for yourself how long you wish to use AVA and when you pause or stop.
Built according to the Gracious AI ethic
AVA has been developed in collaboration with Gracious AI and built to the GRACE ethical standard, one of the most forward-thinking frameworks for responsible AI available today. Among other things, this means: a strictly defined purpose (no advice, no therapy, no autonomous actions), a non-directive and non-manipulative tone, clear limits on what AVA does and does not do, and a privacy-first infrastructure with data minimisation and encryption.

If you would like to experience AVA, it all begins with one simple step: a question or an experience that is alive in you now – and the willingness not to fix it, but to meet it.
