About Modern ŌM

Modern ŌM is an integrated lifestyle brand fusing meditations, products, and tech.
Its mission is to edge the world in a more conscious direction by mainstreaming Mindfulness.

Since 2016, Modern ŌM events have taken over 6,000 people “inward and upward,” making us one of the largest organizers of Mindfulness experiences in the US.

Our U.S.- made jewelry & scent serve as daily reminders of intentionality and are worn by industry leaders in wellness, meditation, and yoga. Notably, we’ve been chosen by Yoga Alliance, yoga’s global community, as their sole partner for jewelry.

In naming our business after ŌM, a 3,000-year-old symbol, we inspire a conversation around what it means to be mindful in the modern world. Yoga Journal, Miami Herald, The NY Observer, Well & Good, MindBodyGreen, Ocean Drive, and other publications have written about us.
