Recently, I was invited to join a university that prides itself on being a leader in Quantum Medicine, Meditation and Consciousness, and was very enthusiastic about the discussions with the Founder, which outlined that I would be leading healing sessions and global meditations with an international community. To my surprise, once I joined the team, many questionable behaviors and organizational processes surfaced, including prioritizing website and smartphone app development over outreach and relationship building for the meditation community. As I managed the website, I found over 2000+ ignored support emails from members, the Founder's penthouse as the landing page of the meditation website, the Founder's world tour photos on the website that did not include any international community outreach, among other disheartening observations. During my time with the organization, I honored requests to contribute everything under the sun that was not outlined in my contract, was ignored several times when requesting to review the contract, and was asked to mentor a "top" PhD student that was not receiving adequate mentorship and did not understand the basics of experimental design or NCCIH controls and guidelines for meditation and integrative medicine. When it became apparent that I would not blindly follow the low integrity procedures of this organization, the Founder terminated my role due to "COVID budget cuts" and promptly deactivated my student account without notice or alternate compensation, an account which was >$25k compensation for approved and delivered work, while attempting to secure IP for course development. I immediately terminated my agreement to contribute crystallography or spiritual science courses and am very grateful to not support or affiliate with this organization. They have violated their Code of Conduct, discriminated against an enrolled student, breached a work contract, and are currently violating federal law, as they have plagiarized scholarly works and promote non-compensation culture.
