In 1967, five women—Jenny Boyd, Jane Asher, Cynthia Lennon, Marianne Faithfull, and Patti Boyd—came together in Bangor, Wales, to attend a seminar on Transcendental Meditation hosted by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Connected by their ties to some of the most famous musicians of the era, they were more than just the partners of rock legends; they were cultural figures in their own right, each navigating the complexities of fame, personal identity, and the shifting countercultural landscape of the 1960s.

Jenny Boyd, then married to Mick Fleetwood and the sister of Patti Boyd, was deeply immersed in the evolving spiritual movement. Jane Asher, Paul McCartney’s former partner, was an accomplished actress with her own career. Cynthia Lennon, John Lennon’s first wife, had lived through the intense early years of Beatlemania. Marianne Faithfull, Mick Jagger’s girlfriend at the time, was already a celebrated singer and actress. Patti Boyd, married to George Harrison and later Eric Clapton, was not only a muse but also a symbol of the era’s style and spirit.

The seminar marked a cultural turning point as these women and their partners sought meaning beyond the material success of the Swinging Sixties. Transcendental Meditation, introduced to them by the Maharishi, promised inner peace and spiritual growth in a chaotic, fast-paced world. For many, it was the beginning of a lifelong exploration of mindfulness and self-discovery, setting the stage for a broader societal embrace of meditation and Eastern philosophies.

Their gathering at Bangor symbolized the intersection of fame, personal transformation, and the search for deeper truths. It’s a reminder of the shared humanity behind celebrity personas and the universal desire for meaning in life. "True peace isn’t found in the spotlight but within the quiet of our own minds."
