MARLISE KARLIN

Before Marlise Karlin became a successful entrepreneur, produced an Independent Spirit Award-winning film in Hollywood, was International Director of an NGO, and served as National Director for Break the Cycle, her life trajectory did not appear it would lead to this level of accomplishment.

As a teen, Marlise braved the unknown to escape oppression from an alcoholic, abusive father. Her path led her down dark alleys of stress-related chronic illness and substance abuse to ease the pain. Unwilling to allow tragedy to dictate her path in life, Marlise Karlin ventured on a 20 year adventure around the globe, studying alongside meditation masters in India, holistic experts from Japan, and Western neuroscientists. Infusing the universal principles from time-tested traditions and leading-edge science with personal experience, Marlise’s revolutionary discoveries about dormant human Potential, and the mind/body connection, transformed her life.

In the early 2000s, Marlise initiated a research project that would set her on a path akin to the legendary Jane Goodall, who studied primates in Africa. Like Goodall’s groundbreaking work, Marlise began observing behavior change at a rate never-before-seen in individuals from diverse communities across six continents.

These groundbreaking cases demonstrated that dormant human Potential was within each person, what they lacked were dynamic tools to activate it until catalyzed by SOS Method Meditations, powered by IKiT, Inner Knowing Integrative Technology.

While IKiT, Inner Knowing Technology harnesses the body’s inherent capacity for adaptation it differentiates itself by offering a solo journey towards well-being, empowering individuals to ignite their own transformative energy. The power of this holistic technology to catalyze such rapid and profound behavioral change is what truly set it apart.

Distributing Inner Knowing Technology on digital platforms through a NEXTjourney membership site and SOS Method mobile app, made it possible for countless thousands to access this transformative holistic technology without Marlise’s physical presence.

A visionary leader, pioneering researcher and humanitarian, Marlise Karlin has dedicated her life to empowering people to realize this dormant Potential that provides access to a fulfilling and prosperous life.
