Experience Circle — Exploring Ordinary Experiences of an Extraordinary Nature
2024-05-26 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.
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.

Discover Your Full Potential — Higher States of Consciousness
2024-05-26 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Toronto) | Montréal TM Centre, 8200 boulevard Décarie, suite 140, Montréal, QC, H4P 2P5, 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.

The Difference Between Cosmic Consciousness and God Consciousness
2024-06-02 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher Maria Rosa Papetti.
Our perception of the world around us grows and evolves as we grow in our experiences of enlightenment.
In this session, featuring a video lecture by Maharishi, we will explore this growth of perception that comes with the development of higher states of consciousness.
With our regular practice of TM, our experience of the inner Self becomes more and more present during daily life. This leads to a greater sense of fulfillment during our daily activity, such as pursuing our passions, working, and spending time with loved ones.
Moving from Cosmic to God Consciousness, we perceive and appreciate the world more and more, while maintaining the experience of the Self.
Ultimately, this growth and refinement in perception culminates in the experience of Unity Consciousness, where everything is as unified within the Self.
