Only In Marin: Transcendental Meditation Club Creates Parent Outrage
Only in Marin….would the creation of a transcendental meditation club cause parents to storm the stage in protest.
At Terra Linda High School, the idea of the new club is causing anything but feelings of peace and understanding. And that’s what makes it an “Only In Marin” moment. You’d expect parents in Marin, one of the birthplaces of New Age spirituality, to LOVE the idea of a TM club in high school.
But in Marin, some of the parents were down this track years ago, and believe it is a cult. In other words, been there, done that, got the de-programming t-shirt.
I do a yoga class a couple of days a week that begins with a few minutes of meditation, but so far, I haven’t felt the need to participate in a mass marriage ceremony or to turn my escrow checks over to Ananda, the teacher.
I’ll let you know if that changes.
