Experience Circle — Exploring Ordinary Experiences of an Extraordinary Nature
2024-04-28 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teachers Mark McCooey & Anne-Mareike Chu
Our Experience Circle offers a unique session to listen and share personal stories of growth, inner peace, and the journey towards higher states of consciousness.
Each session begins with an engaging interview with a TM Practitioner. We speak with our guest about their personal experiences of higher states of consciousness. These narratives often shed light on our own journeys, offering new perspectives and a deeper understanding of our experiences.
Our special guest this Sunday will be Margo Cochlan, a TM Teacher and a long-time practitioner of the TM-Sidhis program and a career trainer, coach, and consultant in many areas of business. Combining the challenges of motherhood and a career, while balancing and responding to the natural unfoldment of inner experience and growth, Margo is a wonderful example of integration of inner and outer life.
After the interview, we transition into an interactive discussion. This is a time for participants to connect and share insights into their own experiences.
Every story shared within our Experience Circle not only deepens our collective understanding but also serves as a source of inspiration on our continued journey towards higher states of consciousness.
Begins with a 20-minute group

There is more to life than waking, sleeping, and dreaming. As TM practitioners we have begun to experience a fourth state of consciousness known as transcendental consciousness or samadhi.
However, that’s not the end of the story. Maharishi has delineated the knowledge of the progression of enlightenment into seven states of consciousness.
In this session, Maharishi describes the hallmarks of these seven states of consciousness. He provides a concise explanation of how each state of consciousness has different qualitative changes in perception and sense of self.
