The Eternal Science of Life: An Introduction to Maharishi AyurVeda
2026-07-28 14:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher Ashia Fredeen and Special Guest Amrita Shrivastava.
Ayurveda, the world’s ancient system of holistic healthcare, sees our health not merely as the absence of illness, but as a state of lively harmony — a dynamic balance between our mind and body, our behavior and the environment, our consciousness and our physiology. Ayurveda gives us timeless wisdom about how we live, eat, think, and heal.
To better understand Maharishi AyurVeda, we are pleased to welcome Amrita Shrivastava from Maharishi International University (MIU). She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Biotechnology, a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology and Human Genetics, and an MS in Maharishi AyurVeda and Integrative Medicine.
Amrita is currently a PhD researcher and Program Director for the Bachelor’s in Ayurveda course at MIU. She also teaches Advanced Techniques of TM and the TM-Sidhis Program.
Amrita will take us into the heart of Ayurveda, where biology meets consciousness, and ancient healing meets modern science.
You will learn:

Everyone has a unique mind-body type: how your dosha shapes your energy, digestion, sleep, stress response, and even your emotional tendencies
Small changes in daily habits can bring big shifts in well-being
The principle of Agni: the digestive fire that governs transformation in your body
The role of Ojas: the subtle essence of immunity and vitality
The role of TM: how the unique experience of restful alertness during TM activates your body’s natural healing responses, helping to balance your nervous system and improve your health

Join us to explore a deeper, more natural approach to working with your body’s innate intelligence.
The event will begin with as 20-minute group meditation at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT

This week’s group meditation is being replaced by our annual Guru Purnima Celebration! (Which also includes a group meditation)
According to Vedic knowledge, each day dawns with a different quality of Nature’s Intelligence. On the auspicious day of Guru Purnima, the first full moon after the Summer Solstice, a specific quality of Natural Law is most awake and enlivened.
Guru Purnima is known as the day of the Guru – a teacher of total knowledge. So, once a year on the full moon of July we celebrate and honour our teachers.
Maharishi always referred back to his teacher Guru Dev who revived the knowledge of living fullness of life. This fullness of life comes from accessing the innermost Self. Guru Dev’s teaching was to attain knowledge of the Self through direct experience, offering Transcendental Meditation as the technique for achieving that direct experience.
Join us on Wednesday, July 29, from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM to celebrate this special occasion of Guru Purnima.
This special event will include:

The ceremony of gratitude (some flowers will be provided, but we encourage you to bring one or two flowers of your own)

A video with Maharishi explaining aspects of forces of nature involved inside our TM practice and outside in our personal growth and evolution

Creating Coherence Meeting
2026-08-04 14:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher in Training Doug Thomson.
Tony Nader, MD, PhD, internationally renowned neuroscientist trained at Harvard and MIT, leader of the worldwide Transcendental Meditation® organizations, and author of the New York Times bestseller Consciousness Is All There Is.
In this replay, Dr. Nader will share practical insights from his new book, The Power of Caring, which has arrived on July 28. In this timely work, he offers a fresh and compelling perspective on consciousness, compassion, and the development of human potential — written clearly and simply, for a broad audience.
This online gathering offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the world’s leading voices on consciousness, human development, and the future of personal and collective well-being.
In The Power of Caring, Dr. Nader explores caring as a direct expression of consciousness and a natural pathway to fulfillment, connection, and collective coherence. Blending timeless wisdom with practical insight, he shows us how expansion of awareness gives rise to compassion, resilience, and harmony in daily life.
This is not a book about trying harder or being a better person. It is about understanding that real, conscious caring reflects the way Nature itself functions, and that when awareness grows, caring naturally arises.
This book speaks directly to something you may already be experiencing through your TM practice: a growing sense of interconnection, a deeper feeling to contribute, a natural expansion of caring — along with a desire to understand why.
We hope you’ll join us for this inspiring conversation.
Begins with a 20-minute group TM.
