Meditation for the busiest of minds 

Happiness can seem elusive at times, a distant dream, or so fleeting you wonder where it went. The mind swirls around, crammed with thoughts. Disconnection and stress easily become the norm.

In today’s society, it is more important than ever to gain tools to connect to the wellspring of calm and peace within you, in the here and now. And that’s what meditation does. It gives you access to the stillness that resides deep within, a place that is steady, at ease, clear, and relaxed regardless of what’s happening around you. Science is now showing us what ancient yogis knew thousands of years ago, meditation works. And what’s even better?
Anyone can meditate, even the busiest of minds! 

Globally celebrated meditation master, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, will share with you ancient techniques for contemporary life, to enable you to fill up from the inside so when the inevitable challenges of life arise, your connection to the fullness, and steadiness within, remains.

Knowing how to manage the mind is fundamental to inner peace, joy, and a centered state of mind. When the mind is calm, everything in life gets sweeter—relationships improve, stress is reduced, mood lifts, and there is a greater sense of ease and joy each day.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ The course is taught in 3 days with 2.5 hour live online sessions each day, guided by a certified instructor.

→ Yes, you can reschedule to a different Sleep & Anxiety Protocol session if you are unable to attend the original dates selected.

→ Most meditation apps help with relaxation, but they don’t retrain your nervous system for long-term sleep and anxiety improvements. Plus, this course is offered in real time with a certified LIVE instructor, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions for extra support.

→ You may have tried white noise, sleep apps, melatonin, and even medication to help with sleeplessness. The tools you’ll receive with the Sleep & Anxiety Protocol are lifelong tools to help reset your nervous system, targeting the root cause, rather than treating the symptom.

→ Many people experience better sleep from the very first session. In fact, some participants have even fallen asleep during the actual course! Like with anything, the effects are cumulative. The longer you practice, the stronger the benefits and results.

From 3 AM Panic to Deep Sleep

What melatonin couldn't do, this protocol did in 72 hours.

Jennifer, a startup founder, would lie awake at 3 AM with her mind racing. One night she discovered the Sleep & Anxiety Protocol. 

"I was skeptical at first. But within 72 hours, everything changed. 

I was falling asleep faster and sleeping through the night for the first time in years. No more 3 AM panic. 

I'm sharper in meetings and actually have energy for my personal life again. I got my life back."
