Wellness NYC” |

Celebrated fashion designer Donna Karan, hip-hop founder Russell Simmons, and filmmaker David Lynch joined forces to launch “Operation Warrior Wellness NYC” in front of a standing-room only crowd of 500. This program will bring Transcendental Meditation (TM) and integrative therapies to veterans and their families in New York who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The audience was especially moved and inspired by the personal stories of veterans from each generation—World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq—who’d transformed their lives through TM, healing mind and body.
