Grand Opening of Vancouver Transcendental Meditation Centre
The Vancouver Transcendental Meditation Centre is proud to announce the grand opening of its long-awaited new facility in the Cambie-Broadway Neighbourhood at 328 West 8th Avenue. Join them on Saturday, February 20, 2016 at 10am for a ribbon cutting ceremony. Between 11am-3pm, they will have an Open House for the public. Certified Teachers of Transcendental Meditation will give tours of the facility and mini introductory talks about the practice.
They invite you to attend the inauguration of an integrated space dedicated to creating inner peace in individuals, and harmony in society.
This is the first time they have owned their own Centre and they’re excited to show it off. With increasing numbers of professional people learning this simple, profound technique, the opening of the Centre is extremely timely. Forbes Magazine states: “Perhaps its greatest benefit is that it’s relatively quick to learn and easy to master. No waiting weeks or months of practice before you see results: TM cuts right to the chase, taking only days – or for some, minutes — before one feels reprieve from their painful and overwhelming thoughts.”
Courses in Transcendental Meditation have been offered on an ongoing basis in various locations throughout the Lower Mainland since 1966 when the practice of Transcendental Meditation, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, was first brought to Alberni Street in Vancouver. Since then, over 10,000 people have learned the technique in the Lower Mainland. Actor Hugh Jackman says, “Nothing has ever opened my eyes like Transcendental Meditation has. It makes me calm and happy and it gives me peace and quiet in what’s a pretty chaotic life!”
The Vancouver Transcendental Meditation Centre will offer courses in meditation, Sanskrit recitation, presentations on Ayurvedic medicine and Vedic Knowledge, and Bliss Days: Fabulous one-day mini retreats to re-charge and rejuvenate.
