David Lynch to Announce Plan to End School Violence:
Teach One Million Students to Meditate

Filmmaker says meditating students will transform schools from
breeding grounds of stress and violence to centers of creativity and peace


Filmmaker David Lynch will announce during a global webcast (www.DavidLynchFoundation.org) on Tuesday, May 1, at 12 noon (EDT), the David Lynch Foundation’s new plan to end school violence: Teach one million students around the world to meditate to transform schools from breeding grounds of stress and violence into centers of creativity and peace.
The David Lynch Foundation has already provided nearly $5 million to support in-school Transcendental Meditation programs for thousands of students in public and private schools in the United States and around the world to learn to meditate. (See www.StressFreeSchools.org.)
The National Institutes of Health has granted more than $24 million to study the benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique for reducing high levels of stress and anxiety, improving brain functioning, and promoting cardiovascular health. Other published research shows the technique reduces depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and hypertension—while improving academic performance, creativity, intelligence, and ADD and other learning disorders.
Lynch will be joined by quantum physicist John Hagelin (What the bleep do we know?!, The Secret), and singer/songwriter Donovan Leitch (Hurdy Gurdy Man, Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow).
Lynch, Hagelin, and Donovan will explore the anti-violence plan in detail during a national student weekend entitled, “Exploring the Frontiers of Brain, Consciousness, and Creativity” at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, over Memorial Day Weekend, from May 25 to 28. (See www.Lynchweekend.org.) Students from throughout the United States are invited to attend.

Man, Lynch is launching all kinds of shit nowadays.

That's nice, but what's cool is that Inland Empire is finally hitting Miami June twenty-two.

Yeah, like totally cool, dude, because, you know, Inland Empire is going to have a huge impact on this world and much more so than some silly foundation.:rolleyes:

And, it's like...dude, you can totally not go to the theater and see a foundation, but like, a movie is totally gnarly because you can, like, go and have a night out at the picture show...ROCK ON!:rolleyes:

Did I offend you? I didn't mean to. The truth is when I saw that there was a thread about David Lynch, I immediately jumped on the chance to announce that his film was going to be shown in Miami. And when I said, "that's nice, but what's cool" I didn't mean it in a "who cares" way.

Dang.

that's what you get for not behaving as atari expects, young man!

:D

:p

speaking of lynch, when does inland empire come to DVD?...
