“I have been practicing [transcendental meditation] for over nine years, and it has changed my life. It is one of the most important tools I use to keep me balanced and creative with a positive mindset,” Perry tells in a statement. “I am so proud to give an intimate performance at the Silence the Violence benefit concert … to raise funds to bring the power of meditation to 10,000 D.C.-area young people.”“Young people today are literally under attack from an onslaught of trauma and stress.
Roth continued, “We are launching our ‘Silence the Violence’ initiative in Washington, D.C. during the October 11 concert to teach 10,000 kids and their parents meditate in the District. They will promote their own resilience and, at the same time, transform the atmosphere of the city from one of divisiveness and fear to collaboration and harmony.”
