ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
David Rottenberg reflects on his creative life as an author alongside his lifelong career as a Transcendental Meditation (TM) teacher. He explores how creativity arises naturally from inner stillness, and why the solutions that emerge from that state are so deeply fulfilling.
He shares stories from his books—especially Gwendolyn the Graceful Pig—including its journey from page to stage as a live ballet performance. He also discusses his other works and his many years of teaching TM, as well as the joy he has found in bringing Maharishi’s knowledge to new meditators.
