Jörn-Marc Vogler worked in the private equity sector for years before his own burnout forced him to radically reorient his life. Drawing on this experience, he founded 4minds, a company that makes meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness accessible to a broad audience—based on scientific evidence rather than esoteric idealization.
His approach combines practical meditation techniques with insights from brain research. Together with his scientific partner, Dr. Ottmann, he measures brain waves on stage during live events to demonstrate the effects of meditation—a hallmark of his work that sets him apart from traditional mindfulness coaches.

There are more forms of meditation in the world than there are sports—and very few people know which one is truly right for them. Jörn-Marc Vogler didn’t know either. He was a private equity manager who lost 15 kilograms due to stress and was on the verge of a breakdown before he set out on his search. Today, more than ten years later, he talks with Alexander Müller about how meditation really works in the brain, why it unfolds in three clearly defined stages, and how it helps dissolve deep-seated childhood patterns. You’ll hear why knowledge alone doesn’t heal, what real trauma work in the subconscious entails, and how you can get started yourself—whether you’re a beginner or an experienced meditator.
You’ve already done yoga, meditated, and gone through coaching—and yet the same patterns keep repeating themselves? In his keynote, Jörn-Marc Vogler explains why this is no coincidence. Drawing on his own trauma and his research, he shows that real change doesn’t happen in the conscious mind, but in the subconscious. Through live demonstrations, he makes it clear how your brain constructs reality and provides a concrete neuroscientific approach to truly dissolve old conditioning.
