MEDITATION NEXT’25

A conference exploring how meditation is changing and what comes next.

Where is meditation headed next?

A one-day public conference exploring how meditation is changing and what comes next.

Meditation, a practice that has guided the human spirit for thousands of years, now stands at the threshold of something revolutionary. As we enter the age of extended realities, AI, and immersive technologies, meditation offers a profound framework — one that is as precise as science, as expansive as art, and as provocative as technology.

What we do with meditation in the future depends entirely on how we choose to understand it today. Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of meditation with: Experienced Practitioners, Scientists & Researchers , Innovators & Technologists , Artists & Designers. Together, let’s reimagine the role of meditation in a world that is rapidly expanding — physically, virtually, and spiritually.

Let’s Decide Where It’s Headed — Together.
The future of meditation is a shared creation.
