Without the use of their vision, each participant is required to use their other senses throughout the experience. Without their sight, the group must find a common language to accomplish the challenges. In this empathy exercise, each challenge is followed by a short discussion on what they just experienced and how it relates to the everyday challenges faced by their host, giving everyone a truly soulful view into disabilities, adversity, and diversity.

From the moment the room lights fade, an oasis of calm begins to fill the space. A soothing voice becomes the guiding focus on a meditative journey of imagination. Participants are introduced to the meditation experience with stunning images of the places they can travel to during your event. You’ll have 16 destinations to choose from; everyone votes for their favorites by waving multi-colored glow sticks.

Maybe you’ll begin by visiting the Lost City. Some groups prefer a Mountain Refuge, Blue Lagoon or Desert Oasis. Each is brought to life with a rich nature soundscape and other soothing stimuli. Wherever Meditainment takes you, it’s a truly effective way to help your group unwind, de-clutter their minds and be better prepared to face whatever challenges lie ahead. 

One cool way to revitalize a team with this activity is to run it several times over the course of a conference. Most people find they get greater results each time, as they learn to relax more and more easily. We also offer Meditainment as a virtual program.
