Each month, we’ll explore the natural sequence of development that leads from TM → Advanced Techniques → TM-Sidhis → Higher States of Consciousness.
Through talks, experience-sharing, and discussion, you’ll gain deeper insight into how to strengthen your practice and prepare for your next steps of evolution.
First Topic: The Growth Toward Your Full Potential: From TM to Advanced Techniques to the TM-Sidhis
All TM practitioners are welcome. Whether you’re newly inspired or preparing for the TM-Sidhis, these gatherings are designed to help you deepen your experience and understanding of the path to higher consciousness.
Begins with a 20-minute group TM.

Toronto TM Essentials: Discover Your Full Potential
2025-11-16 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Toronto) | Toronto TM Centre, 100 Front Street West (Retail floor - below main lobby, Toronto, On, M5J 1E3, Canada
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.

Live Event: The Inspiring Story of the David Lynch Foundation (DLF): Helping Those in Need
2025-11-18 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With special guest Bob Roth, CEO. Hosted by Ron Decter
Join us as Bob Roth shares the heartwarming history of how he and David Lynch founded DLF in 2005, uplifting the lives of countless at-risk children and adults since.
The David Lynch Foundation has brought the stress-reducing Transcendental Meditation technique to over 1 million people globally—with a focus on hospital workers in high-violence communities, first responders and veterans with PTSD and their families, and and women and children survivors of violence and abuse.
“I started Transcendental Meditation® in 1973 and have not missed a single meditation since. Twice a day, every day. It has given me effortless access to unlimited reserves of energy, creativity and happiness deep within. This level of life is sometimes called “pure consciousness”—it is a treasury. And this level of life is deep within us all.
“But I had no idea how powerful and profound this technique could be until I saw firsthand how it was being practiced by veterans who suffer the living hell of post-traumatic stress, and women and girls who are survivors of terrible violence. TM is, in a word, life-changing for the good.
“In 2005, we started the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace to ensure that every child anywhere in the world who wanted to learn to meditate could do so. Now, the Foundation is actively teaching TM to adults and children in countries everywhere.” —David Lynch
Bob Roth has taught TM to many thousands of people, from top government and business leaders and A-list artists and entertainers to inmates at maximum security prisons and teachers and students in under-resourced communities. Bob’s book, Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation, was a 2018 New York Times bestseller.
Bob also directs the DLF Institute for Mental Health and Resilience and hosts the SiriusXM radio show, “Success Without Stress.” He has addressed industry leaders at notable events such as Google Zeitgeist, the Aspen Ideas Festival, the Aspen Brain Conference, Wisdom2.0, and Summit.
Please join Bob on Tuesday, November 18, at 2 pm ET (11 am PT) to hear the story of one of the most successful self-development initiatives in history.
Begins with a 20-minute group TM.

TM Retreat in Québec from November 21 to 23, 2025

“These beautiful advanced programs are the golden keys to living the full potential of life in higher states of consciousness ― Enlightenment. — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
We are pleased to invite you to a Transcendental Meditation retreat at the Auberge du Lac Priscault, near St-Côme, in the Lanaudière region, about 90 minutes from Montréal. It will be held from Friday, November 21 to Sunday November 23, 2025.
Organized by the Vedic Academy Foundation (VAF), in collaboration with the Montréal TM Centre, this retreat is a unique opportunity to rest profoundly and deepen your TM practice. The retreat will be hosted by recently graduated instructors Antonin Mireault-Plante and Jean-Nicolas Brunet-Duclos.
This retreat is doubly special! It’s for meditators only, and it responds to the desire expressed by many of you to enjoy a TM retreat at an affordable price. The fee has been substantially reduced thanks to the financial support of several VAF donors. Also, this will be our very first TM retreat at the Auberge du Lac Priscault. Highly recommended by Francine Leclerc, certified TM teacher from the Centre de Montréal (thank you, Francine!), this comfortable accommodation in the heart of nature, located on the shores of a private lake, functions as a music camp during summer vacations. It will be just right for our retreat.
Whether this will be your first time on such a retreat, or it’s been a long time since your last one, don’t miss this opportunity!
