Molly Beauregard discusses why it is important for students to develop the full potential of their consciousness as part of their college education and to prepare them for a fulfilling life in today’s world. She also describes the benefits her students have gained from their practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique as part of her course “Consciousness, Creativity, and Identity.”
Professor Beauregard has taught sociology for 18 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. Her course, “Consciousness, Creativity, and Identity,” was one of the first college courses in the country (outside of Maharishi International University) to integrate the TM technique into an academic curriculum, and it has provided a model for other colleges and universities.
She is the author of Tuning the Student Mind: A Journey in Consciousness-Centered Education (SUNY Press, 2020), and the Executive Director of the Tuning the Student Mind Foundation, which supports consciousness-centered initiatives at colleges and universities across the country. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and master’s degrees in sociology and public administration from Loyola University Chicago and the University of Pittsburgh.
Mario Orsatti, the host of TM Talks and Senior Teacher of the Center for Health and Wellness, a division of the David Lynch Foundation, interviewed Professor Beauregard on June 13, 2021.
