THORNICO's LE NON MOI prize is presented annually to an individual or team who, through their art, research or communication, enables more people to experience le non-moi.
Le non-moi is the important state of mind in which we forget the
certainty of the self and allow ourselves to be absorbed, so that it feels as if time stops, disappears and everything is flowing. It is in that state of mind that we as humans are at our best and feel best.
It can be the work of art in which we forget ourselves, the music that makes us forget about time and place, the book that lifts us away. But it can also be research into the mind, for example, consciousness or psychedelics or dissemination of or teaching in meditation, breathwork, yoga or biohacking.
This is precisely what we want to pay tribute to with the LE NON MOI - THORNICO PRIZE, of DKK 250,000 as well as a unique artwork from a globally recognized artist.
The prize cannot be applied for but is given to a specially selected individual or team by Thor & Christian Stadil and THORNICO Holding.

Prize winner 2022 | Torben Ulrich
Torben Ulrich is the natural first choice as recipient of the LE NON MOI Prize. Besides, as one of very few people, being a true polymath working across sports, art, music and literature, he has also communicated and embedded the notion of No-Mind and Le non-moi concretely into his oeuvre as well as having actively experimented with different states and the science of mind and consciousness via yoga and meditation.
