Transcendental Meditation (TM) is an evidence-based approach to improve your well-being. TM is a simple, natural, effortless technique practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. Through TM, you can reduce stress and anxiety, decrease the impacts of depression and trauma, improve sleep, and improve intelligence, creativity and your learning ability.

We invite you to apply to be part of the second cohort of TM participants! This 8-week program, starting the week of 9/20, is structured to help you gain the benefits of TM (mentioned above), while learning skills and connecting with other students.
