ABOUT THIS WEEK’S TM TALK
TM Teachers Alisa Feliz and Oleg Avagian will talk about how thousands have been able to learn the TM technique during the war in Ukraine, even in its most dangerous areas. They will discuss Ukrainians’ experiences as a result of practicing TM during this tumultuous time, and the personal fulfillment of teaching TM to people there. They will also share a video of Ukrainian Meditators speaking about learning TM.
