Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are set to participate in a public webcast tomorrow (April 3) to endorse the David Lynch Foundation’s initiative to teach a million at-risk youth to meditate.

The last surviving Beatles, who have been involved in transcendental meditation for years, will be joined by Lynch at the conference, which kicks off at noon EST at DavidLynchFoundation.org.

That evening, McCartney will be joined by Eddie Vedder, Moby, Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Ben Harper, Paul Horn, Bettye LaVette, Mike Love, and My Morning Jacket's Jim James for a benefit concert at New York's Radio City, as previously reported.

Proceeds from the event will go toward the David Lynch meditation initiative to teach meditation in schools.
