Greetings from Utopia Park

In this compelling memoir, a young journalist reflects on her childhood growing up in a secluded meditation community in Iowa during the 1980s and ’90s. As she navigates her family’s connection to Transcendental Meditation and the community’s promises of peace and enlightenment, her story explores the allure and eventual challenges of this fringe culture. From initial warmth to adolescent skepticism and rebellion, her journey ultimately leads her to reevaluate her beliefs and reconnect with her past.
