“Imagine being teleported out of chaos and stress - and into a world of wonder.“
Tristan Elizabeth Gribbin, Founder & CEO
Tristan Elizabeth Gribbin has been teaching meditation for more than a decade, and practicing with great passion for twice as long. The foundation for her passion however dates further back than that.
​
Throughout her upbringing in Palo Alto, California, Tristan was continuously encouraged and inspired by her parents to meditate. After a career as an actress in theatre, television, and film, in Ireland, and later Iceland, she rediscovered her passion for meditation.
​
Naturally, with the emergence of the global stress epidemic, Tristan saw a solution - meditation. She however noticed an obstacle; the majority of people found meditation very difficult.
​
A series of events caused Tristan's initial skepticism towards immersive technologies to transform into a vision of how virtual reality could help many, if not millions, of people to learn meditation. What if - instead of it taking a week, month, or even a year - a beginner could have that aha-moment from their very first try?

The stress epidemic
1 million workers
5 office hours
1 trillion dollars
= The daily estimated number of workers absent from work due to stress and anxiety
= The weekly average number of office hours lost to thinking about the causes of stress
= The yearly approximate cost of stress to the global economy in lost productivity
Technology + Nature + Meditation = Less stress
Flow is in a unique position to help solve the worldwide stress epidemic with immersive meditation tools that are scalable and vetted by leading corporations.
Flow removes one of the biggest obstacles for aspiring meditators - keeping eyes closed.
By teleporting you into your own private meditation retreat, immersed in Icelandic nature, Flow helps you meditate with eyes open.
