Meditation
Humanity Is Having An Existential Crisis. And We're Offering Apps.
Beyond the mental health statistics lies something more profound - humanity is spiritually adrift. We've lost connection with hope, gratitude, wonder, and authentic intimacy with ourselves and the world. People are lost, desperate for something real to hold onto.
The response? A $5+ billion mindfulness industry trapping people in consumerism (SkyQuest, 2023). The problem? It is built on cultural appropriation, with ancient spiritual practices stripped of depth, packaged as "wellness products," and delivered through apps that promise quick relief from existential despair. But you can't commodify the sacred.
People pay for countless products, desperately searching for the profound transformation that comes from quiet, raw moments in life.
This Is Where OTs Belong - With Sacred Respect
Meditation isn’t a product to be sold. It is a deeply intimate occupation, which can take form in different ways for each person. These are daily rituals of self-regulation, connection, and intentional withdrawal that honor both ancient wisdom and individual sovereignty.
We understand something the wellness industry misses: spiritual practices must be grounded in respect for their origins, integrated into daily life, are deeply personal, and return the treasures of hope, gratitude and wonder to people and communities.
What's Missing Without Us
- Wellness programs focus on stress relief without the space for deeper questioning
- Apps offer techniques without cultural context
- Corporate mindfulness capitalises the work to promote efficiency
- Spiritual communities are recommended yet not always safe spaces
- Health services state “cultural responsiveness” yet deny spiritual needs
- Some of the most vulnerable are influenced with their autonomy taken from them
The result? People get temporary calm but never access the profound spiritual occupations that create lasting hope, meaning, safety and intimate connection with life.
This Is Where We Are at LifeSetGo
We believe OTs can only help in humanity's existential crisis when we stand united with clarity in the role of occupations. Complacency is leading to a booming wellness industry, commodifying sacred practices. Every OT has the sovereign right to their own spiritual connection and the expertise to help others find theirs.
When we unite with this clarity, we don't just help people find meditation routines that work for them, we guide society to connect and honour ancient wisdom in a modern world.
