Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation (DLF), visits with TM Talks after the successful MEDITATE AMERICA Virtual Celebration and Concert, held on December 3, 2020. MEDITATE AMERICA is a partnership between the U.S. TM organization and DLF to bring the TM technique to people in need, including healthcare workers on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic, veterans with PTSD, and families living under toxic stress and trauma.

Mr. Roth talks about this national initiative and shares highlights of the event, including

  • performances by Sting and Graham Nash
  • a conversation between Hugh Jackman and Katy Perry about their TM practice
  • inspiring videos of DLF’s work with vulnerable populations
  • plus the high point of the evening: David Lynch presenting the “Peace on Earth Award” to Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., M.A.R.R., leader of the nonprofit Transcendental Meditation organizations worldwide.

Mario Orsatti, host of TM Talks and Director of Advanced Techniques of the TM program for the United States, talked with Mr. Roth on December 6, 2020. This popular episode aired again on December 3, 2023.

Help Support MEDITATE AMERICA through Your Local TM Center

To make the TM technique available at this scale requires a two-pronged approach: local, via 180 U.S. TM Centers and TMFriends.org, and national, via the David Lynch Foundation’s large-scale programs for at-risk groups.

Donate to any of 180 U.S. TM Centers at TMFriends.org

Donations to local TM Centers play an essential role in helping to make the TM technique available to anyone facing financial hardship. Centers are part of the federally recognized non-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization (see TM.org) that teaches the TM program in the United States.

Support your local TM Center and Scholarship Fund by making a donation at TMFriends.org and selecting your Center. Your contribution will make a difference in the lives of many.

Donations also help ensure the continuity of TM Centers. Like all non-profits, TM Centers are facing unique financial challenges during the coronavirus pandemic. Your contribution provides support for all the TM programs offered in your community.
