World Meditation League
The World Meditation League (WML) was born out of a simple yet radical idea: to bring the rigour, recognition, and respect of sports to the world of meditation. In our vision, meditation should be more than a private practice—it should be celebrated, measured, and revered for its transformative power.
At WML, meditators dedicate themselves as athletes do: they train, discipline their minds, and strive to reach extraordinary inner states. The League is where they find not only a platform to showcase their dedication but also the opportunity for global recognition.
FOUNDER'S
NOTE
Erkin Bek
FOUNDER
Our vision is to begin a new era of professional meditation where meditation becomes mainstream, a cornerstone of our daily lives.
Reflecting on our journey here, I’m excited to share a revelation—the untapped richness within us all. Have you ever sensed a treasure inside, far surpassing work or productivity? For me, meditating in nature offered moments of profound self-immersion, a stark contrast to the machine-like routines of daily life. I realised these moments of inner exploration should truly define our existence and even become a valuable profession.
THE BIG QUESTION
Can inner peace be pursued
as a competitive sport?
