Picture this: Thousands of people sitting together, unified in their lack of speaking, all experiencing the magic of mass meditation. That's exactly the goal of The Big Quiet, a social club that brings the masses together to "deepen human connection, celebrate the good in life, and generate more inclusivity," according to its founder, Jesse Israel. And while the landmark events have only taken place in New York City up until this point, the organization is now taking its mission on the road.

Next month, The Big Quiet will be head across the country on the world's first-ever mass meditation tour. Kicking off in Chicago on October 9 (in a greenhouse, nonetheless!) then heading to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, and ending in New York City, each event will include the beloved meditation experience, plus live sound-bath practitioners, string instrumentalists, special guest musicians, and surprise performances. That $30 ticket also comes with healthy goodies from Sweetgreen and chic duds from Outdoor Voices. (Yeah, talk about a swag-bag #goals.)
