World Meditation Foundation Announces The Unified Mind Forum in Korea, Globally Livestreamed

The World Meditation Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to promoting meditation worldwide, will convene The Unified Mind - the 2nd World Meditation Day Forum - on March 20–21, 2026, with an on-site program in Korea and virtual participation via Zoom and a public YouTube livestream. The foundation bills the event as its second edition and says it builds on a predecessor while expanding access through hybrid delivery.

The forum is framed around an explicit integration agenda. WMF materials say the Forum aims to “forge a shared path forward, laying the foundational framework for a unified global meditation ecosystem.” Organizers describe the effort as guided by the vision of “The Unified Mind” and position the meeting as an attempt to bridge scientific, religious, and secular approaches to practice and research.

Program leadership and contributors are described in WMF and in an earlier report as “a mix of meditation masters, neuroscientists, researchers and international practitioners.” WMF states an objective to “establish a common foundation” and to “move beyond dialogue toward integration,” seeking a common identity for meditation that balances empirical evidence and traditional wisdom. WMF also uses the tagline “Use meditation as a bridge to resonate with the world” and references a “Global Collective Meditation on December 21” in its public text.

Several key logistical and roster details remain unspecified in WMF’s announcement. The on-site location is listed only as Korea; no city, venue name, or street address is provided. The public announcement does not list speaker names, session titles, a detailed agenda, registration links, Zoom meeting IDs, or the specific YouTube channel or livestream URL. An earlier, truncated report preserved the fragment “The Foundation published a program announcemen” as the public record of the initial release.

The WMF forum arrives in a broader calendar that includes a separate United Nations–linked observance announced via PR Newswire on Dec 16, 2025. That release said, “The Chaka Khan Foundation in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Partnerships will co-host the second annual UN World Meditation Day on Friday, December 19, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM EST, bringing together millions worldwide for a shared moment of stillness, reflection, and collective healing.” PR Newswire named participants including Music Icon Chaka Khan, Gayle King, and Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith and said the Dec 19 event will take place at the UN Goals Lounge in New York City and stream via UN Web TV. WMF’s materials make no explicit claim of institutional linkage to the UN event.

WMF frames the Forum within its broader mission to promote meditation through “advocacy, education, and collaborative initiatives” and to “create a more mindful, compassionate, and sustainable world.” The foundation says the March 20–21 Forum will push toward integration of science and tradition; with venue and speaker details still pending, WMF’s stated timelines and hybrid platforms give practitioners and researchers a concrete date to watch for further program releases.
