Max Simon is a new school leader of consciousness on a mission to bring meditation to the masses. Born into a family of poetically brilliant teachers, he has been surrounded by consciousness, spirituality, and mind-body medicine his entire life. Son of David Simon M.D., best selling author and co-founder of the world-renowned Chopra Center for Wellbeing, and Julia Simon, an accredited Transcendental Meditation teacher and Vedic Astrologer, Max received his first meditation technique at the age of 4. At 22, Max became the youngest meditation and yoga teacher in Chopra Center history.

As a living example of someone who could integrate ancient wisdom into modern times, Max toured the country with Deepak Chopra M.D. and his father teaching meditation and yoga to thousands of people at the Chopra Center’s prestigious workshops and events. In 2007, Max realized that the world wouldn’t learn this valuable technology unless it was packaged differently. With the intention of giving meditation a fresh new look and feel, he founded The selfcentered Tour, a meditation inspired revolution for authenticity seekers. Through their Pleasure Loves Company Gatherings, Conscious Indulgence Parties, Out of Your Mind Immersions, and Awareness Architects Teacher Trainings, Max’s vision is to inspire one million people to join him in spending time each day getting selfcentered.
