Whether you're a new meditator or a seasoned practitioner, learning techniques is not enough. The energy boosts which awaken the inner fire and make meditation come alive and grow are essential to walking a dynamic path -- a path that reveals ever-deeper love, clarity and wisdom within you, as you.
While there are many meditations to be found on apps and in books, what makes meditation come alive within You and transform your consciousness is the power of transmission.
One could design many beautiful lightbulbs, but without connecting the electricity to run through the lamp, there will be no light (awakened Awareness).
(🦋Awakened Awareness -- this is Awareness which is not based on personal history. It is free from the distortions of personal, familial or group/societal biases. With great simplicity and ease, it perceives very many perspectives without requiring the labor and stress of endless conflicted thinking).
This awakened Awareness is already everywhere. But it has to be recognized within to be of benefit. The word Transmission is a way of talking about the way this recognition moves through the work of an authorized teacher or lineage to the practitioner.
Ignite the Inner Fire of Meditation
The Immersion is a vehicle for transmission and direct recognition of the Awareness that deep meditation reveals within. It's a layered flow of guided practices designed to reveal the rhythms and vibrations of your own deepest consciousness within and supporting you to recognize this same Awareness pulsing behind the appearances of all of life.
Each time you participate with the Meditation Immersion, the inner fire of meditation -- the light of Awareness within you -- is kindled, fed and radically nourished. A few hours that will radically transform your perspective and approach to life.
For a new meditator this program will energetically jump-start your practice while teaching you potent doorways and tools for establishing a transformative practice.
For seasoned practitioners, the Meditation Immersion is a fresh infusion of empowerment to enable leaps in consciousness.

You'll want to watch the welcome video with some opening teachings and suggestions for working with the Immersion and exploring the theme for this Immersion - "Becoming A Beacon Of Hope"
How does the Meditation Immersion work?
We begin in a seated upright posture with an opening meditation and guided intention setting.
In one or more parts of the sessions you may be invited to lay flat. So you may wish to have an area prepared in advance for this option should it arise.
The key to all of the practices we'll be doing is in being present with the body. Scott will help you with this throughout each session.
Each session will work with breath. Breath is essential. It's one of the simplest and most elegant ways to release tension and connect with expanded Awareness.
We will work with different breathing techniques from session to session. You will be given options for a gentler or stronger approach to the breath based on what your body and nervous system are ready for that day.
What practices will we be doing and do I need previous experience with any of them?
All levels of experience are fully welcomed! Instructions and guidance will be given for each practice along the way and there will be opportunities for asking questions.
The formal Immersion begins with an arrival meditation and a focused intention-setting practice, we then flow forward through the layers of the immersion to progressively longer practices with meditation, empowered mantra repetition, guided contemplation, and breathing practices.
These practices will be interspersed with teachings and tools for deepening your experience of the transformative power of the practices as well as bringing the benefits of your learning into your daily moments with greater skillfulness, ease, and grace.
How can I prepare for the Immersion?
Watch and practice with the pre-recorded preparation videos. You will have immediate access to these videos the moment you register for the Immersion. Then you can flow into the Immersion sessions.
Preparing your physical space for the Immersion ~
Create a nourishing environment for yourself to remain undisturbed.
The majority of the Immersion practices will be done upright and seated. There will be one or more practices which can be done laying down, so are encouraged to have an area prepared with something to lay on (like a yoga mat or blanket) as well as an additional blanket in case you want to feel warmer.
And consider planning a bit of time after the session for journaling any insights which arise as well as spending a bit of time in nature integrating if you are able.
(**more comprehensive preparation suggestions are offered in the immersion preparation videos available once you register)
What participants are saying about their Immersion Experience:
"Nothing has expanded my meditation practice as much as the immersion; in a few hours I gained more than 10 day meditation retreats and years of daily practice. It broke through so many of the ways I was holding myself back, resulting in a sustained, deeper meditation practice and all the benefits that come with that. I keep coming back to the recordings because I enjoy them so much, and I gain new insights every time I do!" -SB
"I have attended Scott’s Satsangs, workshops and courses, which have been impactful in my spiritual practice, and yet, I am in awe of how in the Meditation Immersion I explored a deeper sense of self-awareness, found the inspiration to embrace the wisdom that emerged, and openly received Scott’s guidance for the integration of the new insights. The one-day immersion was profoundly transformative!" -OB
"Through the progressive sits, I reach a new level of deep body relaxation, a nectar of spaciousness that allows energy to flow, leading to a marvelous sense of merging with the mantra. Plus, an unexpected physical strength that seemed to emerge from this merging is still enduring." ~VG
"The Meditation Immersion is a boost of energy to my daily practice and life. My participation has brought deeper insight into mantra practices as a doorway to enter deep meditation. The experience of deep silence during and after the Immersion, and the desire to practice more to embody and integrate these new practices, supports me on my journey forward." -SJ
"Ever since I began the Immersions, my day-to-day awareness has undergone a significant transformation. Before, meditation felt like a routine task, feeling easily disrupted by tension in the mind or outside circumstances. However, now with time invested in the intensives, I have a deeper, more focused, meditation practice and feel the vast possibilities of greater awareness that it offers." -GD

Scott Schwenk’s teachings, through a mixture of Dharma talks, Meditations and Breathwork Practices, guide seekers to explore their deepest selves leading them to live their lives free from tension and full of trust.
Known for his hugely popular courses and workshops with One Commune, Younity.com, Wanderlust Festivals, and Unplug Meditation, Scott has been catalyzing the inner evolution of others for decades: helping them to grow, transform obstacles into opportunities, and find Love within.
Scott spent several years living and studying in a Hindu monastery which introduced him to the core body of Tantric traditions which continue to flow through each of his teachings. Apprenticeships in leadership development, meditation and philosophy training, spiritual awakening and Vedic rituals were all part of Scott’s development into the thought-leader that he is today.
Scott’s teachings move through the core principles of Waking Up, Growing Up, Cleaning Up and Showing Up. These lenses can be used to allow willing participants to work through their adult ego development and access wider perspectives through consistent meditative practices.
