The Seeker
Most common reason to joinYou're doing this for you. You want to finally understand your mind, build a daily practice that sticks, and experience the kind of inner transformation that quietly changes everything around you. The certification is a bonus. Who you become is the point.

davidji
World-Renowned Meditation Master
Decades of experience. Thousands of teachers trained globally. davidji is among the most respected and beloved meditation educators alive — drawing on ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, delivered with a warmth graduates describe as life-changing. His private 1-on-1 calls and daily live sessions during Week 6 are the parts of this training people talk about for years.
"The 1-on-1 with davidji was one of the most profound conversations of my life." — Graduate, December 2023
Suze Yalof Schwartz
Founder & CEO, Unplug Meditation
Suze Yalof Schwartz built a movement around one simple idea: meditation should be easy for everyone. A former fashion editor at Vogue and Glamour, she discovered meditation later in life and it changed everything. She went on to pioneer the world's first drop-in meditation studio, build a global app, author the book Unplug (translated into multiple languages), and reach over a million students and train employees at companies around the world. Her approach in this training is personal: she is here to make sure every single student walks away consistent with their own practice and confident to share it with others.
"I wanted to give up — and Suze wouldn't let me give up on myself. I'll never forget that." — Graduate, May 2025
Your investment
The best money
you'll spend on yourself.
The best investment you'll ever make isn't in more stuff.
It's in your mind — and your nervous system.
A comparable personal growth retreat runs $6,950 and doesn't include a certification, a graduate alumni network, or six weeks with two of the world's greatest meditation teachers. This is like two years of learning done in six weeks — for less than half that price.

Spots are limited by design. Each cohort is kept small so every student gets the intimate experience our graduates describe as essential. When it fills, we open a waitlist.

Questions
Everything you want to know.
-
That's the most common reason people join. Many of our most passionate graduates had no intention of ever teaching. The certification lets you share meditation confidently if you choose to — but this training is equally transformational for someone who simply wants to deepen their own practice and become a calmer, clearer version of themselves.
-
Possibly the most right time. Many graduates came to this training at their lowest point — grief, illness, divorce, burnout, depression. This training meets people exactly where they are and gives them tools to move through what they're carrying. If you're unsure, book a call with Suze — she'll be honest with you.
-
Not at all. Graduates have arrived as complete beginners and left as confident experts. If you can breathe, you can meditate — and this program will show you exactly how, with the science and structure to make it real and lasting.
-
The training is 100% online. We do not currently have plans to offer an in-person version, as our students join us from around the world and across the U.S.
Over the years, we've refined the virtual experience to be highly interactive and engaging. During the Week 6 intensive, you'll participate in breakout groups, practice teaching one-on-one and in small groups, connect with fellow students during social sessions, and build meaningful relationships throughout the program. Many graduates are surprised by how connected they feel to the community by the end of the training.
One of the benefits of the online format is that it allows everyone to stay focused, engaged, and on schedule while learning from the comfort of home. It's a rich, immersive experience that we believe delivers exceptional results. -
The first 5 weeks are designed to fit alongside a full life and are completed at your own pace, with new content released each Monday and weekly assignments due throughout the program. Students work through video lessons, written content, app meditations, meditation practices, and one video assignment per week, plus attend four live webinars. Most students find this portion of the training manageable, though the exact time commitment varies based on your schedule and how deeply you engage with the material.
Week 6 is a full commitment and the highlight of the training. The virtual intensive runs Monday–Friday from 9am–5pm PST, with a lunch break and shorter breaks throughout the day, followed by graduation on Saturday from 9–11am PST. We ask that students clear their schedules and attend fully, as this immersive week is where everything comes together. -
We have graduates in 20+ countries who have made it work. All sessions are recorded. People from Europe, Asia, and Australia join every cohort — and every single one says it was worth it.
-
Yes. We offer a flexible payment plan of three installments of $1,225 USD (total: $3,675). The first payment is due at enrollment to reserve your spot, the second by the start of the training, and the final payment by the start of Week 6.
If you need a different payment schedule, we're happy to work with you as long as the full balance is paid by the start of Week 6. Please contact us to discuss options.
The only thing between
you and who you're becoming
is a decision.
Hundreds of people have sat exactly where you are — curious, a little unsure, wondering if this is really for them. Every single one says the same thing afterward: I wish I hadn't waited.
