Course Description
At the 2,000 for World Peace Assembly last December-January, there was overwhelming interest in holding another assembly this summer.
The experiences of higher states of consciousness inside and outside of the Golden Domes, the profound knowledge, the camaraderie, the joy — everyone wanted to do it all over again.
Through daily group practice of Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhi program during these weeks, we will:
- Enhance our personal growth towards higher states of consciousness.
- Create greater coherence and unity in world consciousness, which scientific research has demonstrated produces more positive global trends and greater cooperation among world leaders to solve the many urgent problems we face today.
