Toronto TM Essentials: Discover Your Full Potential
2026-06-28 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Toronto) | Toronto TM Centre, 100 Front Street West (Retail floor - below main lobby, Toronto, On, M5J 1E3, Canada
There is more to life than waking, sleeping, and dreaming. As TM practitioners we have begun to experience a fourth state of consciousness known as transcendental consciousness or samadhi.
However, that’s not the end of the story. Maharishi has delineated the knowledge of the progression of enlightenment into seven states of consciousness.
In this session, Maharishi describes the hallmarks of these seven states of consciousness. He provides a concise explanation of how each state of consciousness has different qualitative changes in perception and sense of self.

Women Teaching TM to Women
2026-06-30 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With Special Guest Candace Badgett.
Candace Badgett, one of 24 Raj Rajeshwaris (international women administrators), has administrative responsibility for the women’s wing of the Global Country of World Peace – the Global Mother Divine Organization – in the United States, Canada, and Australia. She will explain how reducing stress in women, while elevating their mental, physical, and emotional well-being, not only empowers them as individuals but also strengthens society as a whole.
Candace has been a teacher of the TM program for 46 years. She graduated from Maharishi International University in 1977, attended the Enlightenment Course in Vlodrop, The Netherlands, in 2004, and received a Doctorate from Maharishi University of World Peace in Switzerland in 2007, after completing a two-year Leadership Training Course, under Maharishi’s direct guidance.
As mentioned in Candace’s earlier presentation on the founding of Ayurveda in North America, in 1991, Candace and her husband, Rogers, built a 36,000 sq ft Ayurveda health facility, The Raj, in Fairfield, Iowa. This fulfilled their commitment to Maharishi to create The Maharishi Centre for Perfect Health and World Peace, which eventually became Maharishi Vedic City.
Join us to hear the story of one of the TM organization’s most experienced and dynamic leaders.

You Are More Enlightened Than You Think: A Talk by One of TM’s Leading Brain Scientists
2026-07-07 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With M Teacher John Cowhig, and Special Guest Dr. Fred Travis.
By leading to a 4th state of consciousness, characterized by restful alertness, Transcendental Meditation improves health, creativity, and alertness. But how can we prove these effects are real and not imagined? By measuring them.
Modern science can confirm the unique state gained during TM. Standard tests verify a decrease in Sympathetic Activation – the stress response system — which validates the settled wakefulness we experience during meditation. But the most dramatic changes happen in the brain. Our guest this Tuesday, Dr. Fred Travis, will demonstrate how the brain “wakes up” during meditation, and how the brain signature of restful alertness is seen more and more during the day after meditation practice.
With over 35 years of experience researching the brain, Dr. Travis is a leading expert in the neuroscience of consciousness. He’ll share his personal journey into learning TM and discuss how he and other scientists have helped decode the mysteries of optimal brain functioning.
Dr. Travis earned his Master’s and PhD in psychology, specializing in the brain and consciousness, from Maharishi International University in 1988. Following a two-year post-doctoral fellowship at UC. Davis, where he studied brain changes during sleep, he returned to M.I.U. in 1990 to direct research at the Center for Brain, Consciousness, and Cognition.
Since then, he has authored 97 papers and presentations investigating the relationship between brain patterns, states of consciousness, and TM practice. His recent work explores the brain patterns of meditators who report experiencing enlightenment, as well as those of world-class performers, and how these patterns develop over a lifetime.
Please join us for a mind-expanding look into the astonishing world of our magnificent brain — our inner universe — and discover how TM can make it work at its best.
