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?
You've no doubt heard about the endless ways meditation can improve your life. New research comes out almost daily supporting ways meditation practice helps with stress, chronic pain, optimizing performance, increasing happiness and well-being, addiction recovery, depression, improving relationships and numerous other life-changing outcomes.

But it's often hard to view these benefits in a personal way and make it directly relatable to your own life. 

So instead of listing all the benefits and telling you the ways meditation can improve your life, we decided to do something different. 

We've invited over 70 of the world's top thought leaders, neuroscientists, researchers, business leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, coaches, best-selling authors, meditation teachers and more to share their stories of what prompted them to start meditating and how this very private practice transformed their personal and professional lives...and the lives of the people around them. 

We hope that some of these stories will resonate with you in meaningful ways and inspire you to start or deepen your own meditation practice. 
And Then We Decided To Take It A Step Further
While it's great to be inspired, it's even better to channel that inspiration into action.

So during Immersion 2019, we're also hosting a live, 5-day online meditation retreat, led by top Unified Mindfulness teachers and coaches. 

This is not a scaled-back version of an in-person retreat. We're talking a 12-hours-a-day-for-5-straight-days full, live-streamed mindfulness retreat via video conferencing.  

That's 60 hours of meditation training over 5 days. 

We'll also have special breakout rooms for live Q&A and specialized program offerings including mindful eating, mindfulness in the workplace, mindfulness in schools (for teachers), and practice in daily life to name just a few. 

The main meditation room will feature a new Unified Mindfulness technique each day and will run continuously from 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern. 

And just like in-person retreats, the breakout sessions will run concurrently with the main room, so you can participate in sessions that interest you, yet still maintain your momentum in the retreat.   

You're welcome to join us for the entire retreat for a fully immersive experience, 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!

What Is Unified Mindfulness?
There are many ways to meditate, and no way is really better than another. What matters most is that you find techniques that work for you, motivate you, and support the outcomes you're hoping to achieve.

Unified Mindfulness is not a new form of meditation, but it is unique. The UM system has been carefully crafted with clear terminology to provide a very precise, thorough framework for meditating. This supports your ability to learn any meditation technique at all. It also helps you apply meditation to specific situations that are meaningful to you - like being more present with your kids, or managing your stress levels at work.  

UM's clear terminology empowers you to communicate about the experiences you have while meditating. This significantly reduces confusion and helps optimize your practice time by fostering clarity and making it easier to give and receive feedback - which ultimately makes it easier to practice and teach meditation, leading to better results. 

At its core, Unified Mindfulness helps you identify and develop 3 essential attention skills. UM "unifies" all meditation practices by showing how they all develop the same core skills. UM provides a universal language to describe those skills, methods of development, and shared meditative experiences across all traditions, worldwide.
While UM's precision makes it possible to pair specific techniques with your personal goals, its algorithmic approach to meditation 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.
Why is Immersion Free?
Hosting this first-of-its-kind online event and making it 100% free for everyone to participate is a way for us to acknowledge, celebrate and express our immense gratitude for the transformational work that's being done every day to share this life-changing practice with others.

So come join us April 10th - 14th and experience for yourself what's possible. 

In gratitude, 

The Unified Mindfulness Community
