Director David Lynch is no stranger to taking his message to folks in unusual ways, and his advocacy of transcendental meditation is well documented. For those in the midwest, though, or with the means, money and time to get there, there’s an interesting event unfolding May 25-27, at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, and an extremely reasonable $20 registration fee can gain you admittance.

Appearing in person alongside quantum physicist John Hagelin and, yes, believe it or not, ’60s-era singer-songwriter Donovan, Lynch will discuss his filmmaking, consciousness and the creative process. For more information, visit the event’s eponymous site by clicking here.
