Why: David Lynch began doing Transcendental Meditation in 1973 and opened the David Lynch Foundation in 2005 “to help prevent and eradicate the all-pervasive epidemic of trauma and toxic stress among at-risk populations through promoting widespread implementation of the evidence-based Transcendental Meditation program in order to improve their health, cognitive capabilities, and performance in life.” On December 3 at 7:00, the foundation is sponsoring “Meditate America,” a benefit concert seeking to bring TM to healthcare workers, veterans, and families under trauma and stress during the Covid-19 crisis. The free presentation will be hosted by Hugh Jackman, Deborra-lee Furness, Katy Perry, Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, and Dr. Jennifer Ashton and will feature performances by Sting, Angelique Kidjo, Graham Nash, Elvis Costello, Kesha, Jim James, and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. Neuroscientist and international TM head Dr. Tony Nader will receive the Peace on Earth award.
