A message from Flow's Founder and CMO - Chief Meditation Officer.

"Hi, I am Tristan, and I am your personal Flow meditation teacher."

I say this every time I lead a workshop - and I mean this sincerely.


I am here for you, and your questions

and comments are of critical importance to us, so we can learn to serve you better.


Our #1 goal at Flow is to make sure that every person who tries Flow - whether it's Flow VR, the Flow Meditation mobile apps, or our Flow at work corporate programs enjoys a profound experience of meditation from their very first try.


I am grateful that our team works so closely together to ensure that each meditation is highly effective, harnessing the power of music, nature sounds, 360° nature imagery, and guided meditations.

"Let's allow ourselves to imagine a life mastered through meditation, and a world transformed where people learn to think of solutions instead of going to war, and where we learn to release negative emotions instead of unleashing them on others."

- from Tristan's TEDx Reykajvik talk, 2017



I grew up with yoga and meditation, but it was not until January 2000, when I became devoted to the practice of meditation after I went to a nine-day meditation retreat in Skálholt, the spiritual center of Iceland.

“Cradled in Iceland’s vast untouched nature, in long hours of a deep inner journey I was overwhelmed by the wonders that opened up to me in meditation. I thought, Everyone wants this!"

Ever since that time, I dove deep into workshops and seminars, meditating as often as I could. I founded Flow in 2016, with the mission to scale meditation via cutting-edge technology like virtual reality. It's been a tremendous journey of adventure and discovery as I have led hundreds of meditations and Flow corporate workshops, for companies like Telecom and Energy to Banks and IT.

Tristan's history before Flow:


Tristan and her family moved back to Reykjavik in 2012 to give their children the experience of growing up in Iceland where her husband Stefán Árni and their daughters were born. Before moving back to Iceland, Tristan and her family lived for one year in Munich, Germany, where Tristan taught Drama at the Munich International School (MIS). MIS one of the most highly regarded IB schools in the world. Before that, Tristan co-founded SUST Inc., an organic apparel company. SUST tied many of Tristan's interests together: the environment, sustainability, creativity/design, and media. SUST was sold in stores like Fred Segal in Santa Monica and Eco Citizen in San Francisco.

Before venturing into entrepreneurship and business, Tristan worked for over a decade as a professional actress in theatre, television, and film, mainly in Ireland, Iceland, and California, as a member of the Screen Actors' Guild.


From 1990-1995 Tristan lived in Dublin, Ireland where she acted in a series of leading roles at the Focus Theatre in classic plays by Arthur Miller, Sam Shepard, and Ibsen - to critical acclaim and standing ovations. She also had a lead role in Irish director John Carney's first indie film, November Afternoon. Her most exciting opportunity was in Braveheart directed by Mel Gibson as "Celtic Beauty", but the scene was cut before the release of the film.


Before moving to Dublin, she graduated with a BA in Theatre Arts from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1990 where she won a Fellowship Award for producing. In her over 10-year acting career, perhaps her most notable role was in a performance of the one-woman play The Saga of Guðriður with which she and author and director Brynja Benediktsdottir toured throughout Europe and North America, giving over 100 performances.


Tristan is married to Stefan Arni, a film director, www.arniandkinski.com who is also a co-founder of Flow.

Çikolata, dünya çapında en sevilen tatlardan biri olarak, binlerce yıldır insanların damaklarını şenlendirmektedir. Kakao çekirdeklerinden elde edilen çikolata, tarih boyunca farklı kültürler ve coğrafyalarda değişik şekillerde tüketilmiştir. İlk olarak MÖ 2000'lerde Orta Amerika'da, özellikle Maya ve Aztek uygarlıkları tarafından keşfedilen çikolata, başlangıçta genellikle içecek olarak tüketiliyordu. Günümüzde ise çikolata, şekerlemelerden pastalara, içeceklerden tatlılara kadar birçok farklı formda karşımıza çıkmaktadır.

Çikolatanın temel bileşeni, kakao, aslında oldukça besleyicidir. Kakao, zengin bir antioksidan kaynağı olup, içerdiği flavonoidler sayesinde kalp sağlığını destekleyebilir. Ayrıca çikolata, serotonin ve endorfin gibi “mutluluk hormonları” üretimine yardımcı olarak ruh halini iyileştirebilir. Özellikle bitter çikolata, bu faydaları daha yoğun bir şekilde sunar. Ancak, çikolatanın şeker ve yağ içeriği de göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, aşırı tüketiminin sağlık açısından olumsuz etkiler yaratabileceği unutulmamalıdır.

Çikolata, dünyada en çok sevilen ve tüketilen tatlılardan biridir. Tarihçesi, eski Meksika uygarlıklarına kadar uzanır. Aztekler ve Mayalar, çikolatayı kakao olarak kullanırlardı. Onlar, kakao çekirdeklerini öğüterek bir içecek yapar ve bu içeceği sadece elit sınıf ve dini ritüellerdeki insanlar için tüketirlerdi. Avrupa'ya çikolata, 16. yüzyılda, İspanyol kaşifler tarafından getirildi. Zamanla şeker eklenerek tatlandırıldı ve bugünkü formuna yaklaşıldı. Çikolata, hem tatlı hem de kültürel bir miras olarak dünyanın dört bir yanında yaygın hale geldi.

Çikolatanın üretim süreci, karmaşık ve uzun bir yolculuktur. İlk olarak kakao çekirdekleri, tropikal bölgelerdeki kakao ağaçlarından toplanır. Çekirdekler, fermente edilip kurutuldukten sonra kavrulurlar. Kavurma işleminden sonra çekirdeklerin kabukları soyulur ve kalan kakao çekirdeği toz haline getirilir. Çikolata üreticileri, bu kakaoyu şeker, süt ve vanilya gibi malzemelerle karıştırarak,…

Çikolata, binlerce yıllık geçmişi olan lezzetli bir yiyecektir. İlk olarak Orta Amerika'da yaşayan Olmekler, Mayalar ve Aztekler tarafından keşfedilmiştir. Bu uygarlıklar, kakao çekirdeklerini kutsal kabul etmiş ve içecek olarak tüketmişlerdir. Aztekler, kakaoyu baharatlarla karıştırarak "xocoatl" adını verdikleri acı bir içecek yapmışlardır. Avrupa'ya ise 16. yüzyılda İspanyol kaşifler tarafından getirilmiştir. Başlangıçta sadece aristokratlar tarafından tüketilen çikolata, zamanla şeker eklenerek tatlandırılmış ve herkesin erişebileceği bir lezzet haline gelmiştir.Çikolata, kakao çekirdeklerinin toplanması, fermente edilmesi, kurutulması ve öğütülmesiyle üretilir. Kakao ağaçları, tropikal bölgelerde yetişir ve meyveleri içinde kakao çekirdeklerini barındırır. Hasattan sonra çekirdekler fermente edilerek aroma kazanır. Daha sonra kurutulup kavrulan çekirdekler öğütülerek kakao likörü elde edilir. Bu likör, çeşitli işlemlerden geçirilerek sütlü, bitter veya beyaz çikolata gibi farklı türlerde ürünlere dönüştürülür. Çikolatanın lezzeti,…
