S2 E5: Consciousness and the Creative Process with Amine Kouider

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Amine Kouider, Chair of the Department of Cinematic Arts and New Media at Maharishi International University, and a Transcendental Meditation teacher. With a career spanning continents and communities, from children in Colombia to Buddhist nuns in Thailand, Amine brings a deeply human perspective to filmmaking, education, and consciousness.We talk about what it means to teach from a place of inner stillness, how TM supports creative flow, and why the most radical shifts in life often begin in silence. Amine shares stories from the field, insights on mentoring young artists, and reflections on the power of awareness to transform how we tell stories. Whether you’re a filmmaker, educator, or someone curious about the inner workings of creativity, this conversation invites you to consider what happens when the creative process becomes a spiritual practice.
