“The Evolution of an Artist”

Ashia Fredeen is a second generation TM Teacher with a background in filmmaking and video editing. She worked as a video editor and Team Lead for Dr. Tony Nader’s podcast “Consciousness Is All There Is” before switching careers to become a TM Teacher. She’s currently Co-Director of the Vancouver TM Centre.

Ashia spent endless hours of her youth in creative pursuits, including dance, music, drawing, and acting. This love of the arts drew her to Montréal for 1.5 years to pursue a theatre degree, then brought her to Maharishi International University (MIU) in Fairfield, Iowa to study filmmaking.

Ashia will talk about her experience of inner transformation from “Art lover” to “Artist” that she had while studying film at MIU. She’ll share a conversation she had with David Lynch, explain how her TM practice changed her artistic journey, and she’ll also play a couple of the short films she created as part of her degree.
