description

With the foundation, Lynch wants to enable schoolchildren and students to learn Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying. He is also on the move in Germany, where he z. B. invited 200 young people from Berlin to make Berlin “invincible” in this way. According to Lynch, it has been scientifically proven that "with such a coherent group of 200 Yogic Flyers, the negative tendencies in a city decrease and the positive tendencies increase". In addition, the DLF supports and finances scientific and medical studies on the effects of transcendental meditation.

Some of the foundation's projects are:

  • reduce student stress in schools
  • to help soldiers and veterans overcome their trauma
  • to support the people without shelter in the USA
  • to alleviate the conflicts in Indian reservations
  • To help children from violent backgrounds.

On March 25, 2009, David Lynch Foundation Television went live with a beta version, an Internet-based television channel designed to celebrate "Awareness, Creativity and Happiness." In addition to video contributions from the David Lynch Foundation , the broadcaster plans to put online documentaries and exclusive contributions from Lynch. The official start was April 4, 2009.

In 2007 Lynch went on a world tour and campaigned, partly together with the Scottish folk singer Donovan , for the construction of "invincible universities". These institutions, initiated by Maharishi, are intended to offer the study of consciousness with the help of transcendental meditation as a basic discipline in addition to conventional courses. In Berlin, the institution is to be named "University for an Invincible Germany". The Teufelsberg was chosen as the site , a mountain of rubble from the Second World War that was used for a listening station until reunification . There is no building permit.
