About Damian Lodge

Damian Lodge

Damian Lodge

Damian Lodge is one of those people who has been meditating since before they were born as his parents were TM teachers. He grew up in New Zealand where 1% of the country practices Transcendental Meditation. He graduated with a degree in Maharishi Vedic Science from MIU, and has worked in various roles for the global TM organization, including working on a project directly with Maharishi. He also worked with Maharishi Ayurveda in Fairfield and taught Transcendental Meditation in San Francisco Public Schools.
From 2013 he has been focused on marketing initiatives and programs for national offices dramatically boosting Transcendental Meditation instructions, which lead to 30,000 more people learning TM globally. This success led to Dr. Nader asking him to take a leading role to bring the Consciousness Advisor program to the world as president of Maharishi Foundation Technologies (MFT), the legal organization offering the program.
