zenschoolGLOBAL
An earlier introduction to a VR-based program exploring dialogue, inner motivation, and innovation.
This page preserves a former program guide. Its dates, fees, capacity, equipment, and application details are historical and do not describe current availability. Applications are not accepted here.
THE FORMER PROGRAM
Making room for deeper dialogue
The former guide described zenschoolGLOBAL as an experiment in using an immersive virtual space for conversations about work, purpose, and new business ideas. It brought together mindfulness practice, reflection, and dialogue as a way to explore the motivations behind an idea.
Rather than presenting VR as a replacement for in-person learning, the page framed it as a different setting for focused conversation. Participants were invited to develop a concept, consider how it might become a prototype, and continue working on it after the intensive sessions. This is a description of the historical program, not a statement about current delivery.
