Modern education focuses on what students study: math, history, etc. But it fails to develop the students’ creativity, intelligence, alertness, and breadth of comprehension. It fills the container of knowledge with facts and career skills, but fails to expand the container itself.

Education has a three-fold structure: Knower, Process of Knowing, and Known. But in most schools, the emphasis in education is on the ‘Known.’ By adding TM to the curriculum, we expand both the Process of Knowing and the Knower, thereby connecting the Known—knowledge— to the personal experience of the student’s own deepest Self. By enlivening the student’s entire brain rather than just isolated regions associated with particular subjects, the student grows toward the state of Enlightenment—the ability to know anything, do anything, and accomplish anything.

In addition to developing the brain as a whole, we give students a vision of life itself as a whole. This is through the study of the Science of Creative Intelligence — learning about the basic laws of nature which structure the entire living world, including human life. The result: education is deeply satisfying for students, and the school environment is calmer and more focused.

Dr. Ashley Deans has a Ph.D. in Space Physics from the Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science, York University, Toronto, and a B.Sc. in Physics, Imperial College, London University, UK. He is an Associate of the Royal College of Science and a professor of Education and Physics at Maharishi International University.

Maharishi appointed Dr. Deans as the Global Ambassador of Consciousness-Based Education, and in this capacity, he has traveled to over 100 countries to address governments, universities, schools, and research institutions on Consciousness-Based Education.

Natalie Miller is the Principal of The Victoria School of Ideal Education in Victoria, BC. She will show us how, for over 38 years, Consciousness-Based Education has created a truly exceptional learning environment for grades 1 to 8 — with few of the problems that challenge most Canadian schools.

Join us to learn about Consciousness-Based education and how it has been established in Canada, the UK, Italy, South Africa, India, and other countries.
