10,000 for World Peace Assembly — Personal Reflections with Eric Simon
2024-01-21 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to meditate with over 10,000 TM practitioners in the same place, at the same time? What subjective changes take place in meditation? Are there measurable changes in society?
During this session, Eric Simon will share his personal experiences and reflections of the 10,000 for World Peace Assembly planned for December 29, 2023, to January 13, 2024, near Hyderabad, India.
Forty years ago, the largest TM retreat to date was held at Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa, USA. Eric and over 7,000 other TM practitioners meditated together from December 17, 1983, to January 6, 1984.
With the announcement of an even larger gathering, Eric was keen to participate and experience the significant increase in collective consciousness once again.
Other participants will be invited to share their experiences too.
Eric Simon is a Certified TM Teacher, TM-Sidhis Administrator, and director of the Montréal TM Centre.

Maharishi on Unlocking Inner Fulfillment
2024-02-04 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher Dianne Field.
In this inspiring video, Maharishi shares a profound insight: at the core of every individual is a state of unbounded bliss. This bliss, known as Ānanda in Sanskrit, is far more than just an emotion — it’s a quality of our pure consciousness.
Through the practice of TM, we experience this profound state of unbounded bliss. As we experience this inner bliss and then transition into our daily activities, it becomes a constant, ever-increasing presence in our lives.
Over time, this profound sense of fulfillment reshapes our everyday experiences with a lasting sense of completeness and bliss. And we begin to live a life of inner and outer fullness — 200 percent of life.
This transformation reveals a powerful truth: true happiness, harmony, and fulfillment come from within.

Super Mind: The Science Behind Enlightenment
2024-03-10 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | https://community.ca.tm.org/event/super-mind-the-science-behind-enlightenment/
With TM Teacher Joe Truscott.
What are the cumulative benefits of regular TM practice? Join us for a fascinating presentation by Dr Norman Rosenthal of his book “Super Mind.”
In this recorded conversation, TM Teacher Bob Roth and Dr Rosenthal discuss the neurophysiology behind waking, sleeping, and dreaming states of consciousness — and explore the incredible benefits of Transcendental Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness.
Transcendental Consciousness is characterized by Alpha waves concentrated in the prefrontal cortex of the brain, and overall brainwave coherence.
Through regular TM practice, individuals can develop their “Super Mind,” characterized by increased brainwave coherence outside of meditation.
Dr Rosenthal is a highly-respected psychiatrist, public speaker, and author of multiple best-selling books, including “Transcendence” and “Super Mind,” both of which focus on the TM technique.
With his extensive research background and expertise, he brings valuable insights into the power of TM and its impact on higher states of consciousness.
