About All Here

All Here is a meditation centric organization with three core foundations : The Practice, The Science and The Technology.

At its heart is the development of Quantified Meditation and the Silent Mind Index, offering objective benchmarks for meditation practice.

In collaboration with institutions including the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), the University of Geneva, the University of Tokyo, S-VYASA University, and ANT Neuro, All Here studies meditation depth using EEG-guided Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs). After each session, a Quantified Meditation Report shows changes in focal attention, mind-wandering, and self-awareness brain networks.

All Here has also developed an XR Immersive Meditation Platform, guiding practitioners through a multi-stage journey—from relaxation to deep contemplative states.

To further its mission, All Here launched the World Meditation League (WML) to professionalize meditation as a mainstream occupation. Through events like the upcoming Tokyo Meditation Challenge (October 2025) and rigorous scientific standards, WML offers a global platform for meditators to train, compete, and inspire.

The organization is currently developing an advanced meditation and research sanctuary in the Indian Himalayas.

Inspire to Meditate with Science and Technology.

Our Spokespeople

Erkin Bek

Founder

Erkin Bek, founder of All Here and the World Meditation League, bridges meditation traditions with science and technology. A scientifically accomplished meditation practitioner, he collaborates with leading institutions including Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), University of Geneva, and University of Tokyo.

He pioneered research on Silent Mind using EEG, ECG, and fMRI to measure deep meditative states. His quest for inner fulfillment led him to meditation practices of India and the Far East, discovering silent and explosive meditation practices that fundamentally transformed him. He authored All Here, a book of poems on life and meditation, and founded Sarvatr, a meditation sanctuary in the Indian Himalayas.

Prof. Christoph Michel

Chief Neuroscientific Director

Christoph Michel is Professor Emeritus of Neuroscience at the University of Geneva and former Director of the Functional Brain Mapping Laboratory. He serves as past-president of the Swiss Society for Neuroscience and Editor-in-Chief of Brain Topography. Prof. Michel now serves as Chief Neuroscientific Director at All Here, overseeing scientific validation of the Silent Mind Index.

A pioneer in high-density EEG and electrical neuroimaging, he led development of advanced signal analysis methods applied in clinical and cognitive neuroscience contexts. His current research explores how brain activity patterns relate to consciousness and meditative states, bringing decades of neurotechnology expertise to All Here’s mission of advancing the science of meditation.

Dr. Loup Vuarnesson

Director of XR and Design

Loup Vuarnesson is a researcher and experience designer with specialization in immersive media. He directs XR design and production at All Here, leading development of novel meditation experiences at the intersection of technology and consciousness research. He holds a SACRe PhD from PSL University in Paris with focus on interaction design.

Previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), his background as VR artist, sound designer, and programmer informs his unique approach to immersive experience design. His work explores how mixed reality and XR technologies can support transformative experiences.
