Last year, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr launched the David Lynch Foundation's "Change Begins Within" global outreach to teach one million at-risk adolescents and teens stress-reducing meditation at an historic concert at Radio City Music Hall. Since then, nearly 150,000 inner-city students have begun utilizing these techniques to eliminate traumatic stress that undermines academic achievement and short-circuits lives. These students have dramatically better test scores, grades, and graduation rates while drop out rates, suspensions, and expulsions have greatly decreased. The program has the full-hearted support of superintendents, principals, faculty, students, and parents.
More groups of people from all walks of life have come to embrace our program, including veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and their families; homeless adults; children from the streets of Harlem and East LA; American Indians subsisting on impoverished reservations; and incarcerated men and women locked away in maximum security penitentiaries. And the demand has never been greater in New York City; in particular among local schools, veterans groups, and homeless shelter re-entry programs.
This year the David Lynch Foundation hosted the second "Change Begins Within" benefit on Monday December 13, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Russell Brand, Clint Eastwood, Mehmet Oz, Katy Perry, Russell Simmons, David Lynch, and other very special guests participated in a a very different and exciting evening.
This video shows highlights from this extraordinary event, and lets you discover firsthand why change begins within.
