5-Day Meditation Festival: The Art of Inner Peace
14–18 May 2026 · OnePeople.sg – Harmony Room 1 · Free admission
Discover how meditation helps you connect with your inner self. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this free 5-day meditation festival offers guided sessions, inspiring speakers, and even a morning walk in nature.
Meditation in Sports
The Self-Transcendence 3,100-Mile Race was created by Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007). His focus on pushing beyond one’s limits and celebrating the strength of the human spirit has been the driving force behind the race since it began. In ultrarunning, self-transcendence is especially important because there comes a point when a runner’s physical strength is exhausted. To keep going, the runner must rely on inner determination and tap into the limitless spiritual power within, which Sri Chinmoy called the soul, a part of the Divine Being.
“By meditating on the spiritual heart, the seeker can discover his own inner treasures of peace, joy, light and love.” — Sri Chinmoy
Meet the facilitators
The festival is led by two remarkable individuals whose lives embody the spirit of inner strength and endurance.
Nirbhasa Magee from Ireland
Nirbhasa Magee is living proof that meditation and endurance are inseparable — a four-time finisher of Sri Chinmoy 3,100 Mile Race, the world’s longest road race — who credits his inner practice with stripping away everyday anxieties and giving him a clarity that running alone never could. He has taught meditation in over 20 countries.
Grahak Cunningham from Australia
Grahak Cunningham is also a four-time finisher — and 2012 champion — of the same legendary race, whose meditation practice since the age of 16 underpins everything he teaches about focus, resilience, and inner strength.
Together, they bring unique insights into focus, surrender, and the light that comes from within. Their stories offer a rare human perspective on what it means to push beyond all perceived limits and what meditation has to do with it.
