What's In It For You?
The Road To Enlightenment Has Potholes, Detours and Dead-Ends...
The World Needs the Best You, Now More Than Ever
Why do you meditate?

Or if you've never tried, what are you hoping that meditation will help you do?

People usually turn to mindfulness practice initially to achieve one of five main goals:
1.  To reduce your physical or emotional suffering

2.  To increase your physical or emotional fulfillment

3.  To gain a deeper knowledge of who you are and what your purpose is

4.  To act skillfully and/or positive behavior change

5. To increase your spirit of love and service towards others
Actually, it could be a few (or all) of these, but which of these is personally most important to you right now?

And these are just starting points to practice

When you understand clearly how mindfulness directly relates to what matters most to you, that will help you stay motivated and inspired to practice

If we could give you a precise, step-by-step plan that would guide you to this goal, would you be interested?

The answer is always YES! 




Or if you've never tried, what are you hoping that meditation will help you do?

We believe that the reason people turn to this life-changing practice initially for one (or more) of five main reasons:






We're living during the most transformational time in the history of humankind.   And with great change, comes the risk of turmoil and chaos.  But it also brings with it the opportunity for exponential growth by helping us understand who we are,

What Is Immersion?
We invited dozens of the world's top thought leaders, neuroscience researchers, business leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, coaches, best-selling authors, meditation teachers and more to share their personal meditation journeys - why they started, how they managed to make it "stick" and how this practice transformed their personal and professional lives...and the lives of the people around them. 

These powerful personal stories provide the foundation for Immersion 2020, and serve to inspire and motivate all of us to start or deepen our meditation practices.
And Then We Decided To Take It A Step Further
It's great to be inspired.  It's even better to channel that inspiration into action.

So during Immersion 2020, we're also hosting a live, 5-day online meditation retreat, led by top Unified Mindfulness teachers and coaches. 

What’s a Drop-In Meditation Retreat?

Whether you're at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level of your meditation practice, at any stage - we’ve got you covered. 

If you’re a new meditator looking for instruction we’re ready for you! 3 times a day we’ll be offering intro classes and you can ask any question you’ve ever had about meditation. By the time Immersion is over you'll have 4 new techniques you can practice any time anywhere, plus an understanding of how to practice that's clearer than many people who have been doing it for years!

If you’re an intermediate meditator come sit with our community of devoted practitioners to take your practice deeper. Instruction and support are there for you if you need or want it. And if you don't, we welcome your presence and honor your practice!

If you’re an advanced meditator come sit in a like minded community. We take training seriously and we’d be honored for you to join us. Help us create a safe space for beginners to learn just by how you show up in your practice.  

And, if you just want to sit with a bunch of people in silence, the great news about an online retreat is that you can mute the room any time. So please, come sit with us! :) 

 Join us for as much or as little as you’d like - instruction or no instruction - beginner to advanced - all are welcome! 

This is a virtual space for you to learn new mediation techniques and sit with other others in practice from 8 AM to 10 PM Eastern.  Come and go as you please.
And To Push The Envelope Even Further...
In addition to the live-streamed retreat room, you can also attend 50 live, mindfulness workshops. The full schedule is below.
You're welcome to join us for the entire retreat or drop in and out of sessions as your schedule - and your interest - permits. 
It's completely up to you...and it's all 100% FREE!

Julianna Raye
CEO & Head Trainer: Unified Mindfulness
As CEO, lead content developer and head trainer at Unified Mindfulness, Julianna is devoted to deepening people's understanding of research-supported mindfulness and empowering anyone to guide others in its practice. She has trained individuals, groups, and organizations in the practice of mindfulness for two decades and she developed the official teacher training program for Shinzen Young's Unified Mindfulness system. 

With more than 150 weeks of immersive silent retreat training in both the mindfulness and Zen traditions, Julianna has completed over 20,000 hours of formal practice. Her brain has been studied in neuroscience labs at Vanderbilt, UNM, and UCLA. She also designed and led the training for a workplace research study which was carried out under noted mindfulness researcher David Creswell out of Carnegie Mellon University. That study showed positive outcomes for improved employee well being and lower stress. 
Julianna co-authored papers from the study published in two prominent science journals: Mindfulness, and the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. A novel aspect of the protocol was an emphasis on the application of mindfulness techniques in daily life, which is a strength of the Unified Mindfulness approach.

What Is Unified Mindfulness?
There is no "right way" to meditate.  What matters most is that you find a technique that works for you, keeps you motivated, and supports the outcomes you're hoping to achieve.

What makes the Unified Mindfulness (UM) system so special is that for the first time ever, the mechanics of meditation practice have been brought together in a comprehensive, all-encompassing framework.

This framework allows you to understand what's going on when you practice ANY meditation technique.

And once you start to understand the "How To" of meditation, you become empowered to adapt your practice to meet you where you're at, at any time and in any situation.  That make UM ideal for practice in daily life.
UM has also been carefully designed with precise terminology which makes learning it - and teaching it - straight-forward and exact.

So while the UM system is not a new way to meditate, it does provide a new way to learn and teach meditating in an interactive format that allows the teacher to meet the student exactly where they are.  This interactive teaching approach is something that makes the Unified Mindfulness system truly unique.

While UM's framework makes it possible to pair specific techniques with your personal goals, its precision has also attracted leading labs at institutions like Harvard, Carnegie Mellon and Vanderbilt, which rely on the Unified Mindfulness system for their research into the neurological, psychological and physiological effects of mindfulness practice.  
For the first time in history, science is beginning to understand how meditation practice affects the brain to ease suffering, enhance performance and improve the overall well-being and happiness for those who practice it regularly. We're honored to play a role in helping to connect the dots between modern science and the ancient wisdom of contemplative traditions.
