Join us for a day or two of rest, knowledge and togetherness.
We hope you'll be able to join us for our next online retreat. Online retreats have been well received by those attending. Many participants come back regularly - a growing number attend each month for maximum enjoyment and benefit, and report growing Support of Nature. You can attend either, or both, day(s).
"What a wonderful retreat. I'm relaxed, peaceful and energized. But more importantly I feel peace. Both your explanations of Maharishi's talks were so enlightening. Sometimes I hear the words and understand them but I can't see how they relate on an individual level to me. Your explanation of the theoretical to the practical and then to the individual was the light bulb! Both of you bring such warmth, love and dedication; it is truly inspiring. Thank you." –M.K.
"I was surprised how connected I felt at distance. My meditations were deeper. After the retreat, I feel more clarity, balance and happiness." - S. S.
"And thank you for a MAGNIFICENT retreat! It was tremendous! I slept well Saturday night and woke up a new person Sunday morning. Since then, I am a new person! Can’t wait to take your next online retreat." - K.M.
(more feedback and experiences here)
You'll need a day or two free from responsibilities and...
- A quiet, undisturbed location where you can be by yourself uninterrupted for at least the full morning and hopefully the afternoon.
- Access, in that private location, to a computer or tablet which can run the Zoom video conference application. Connecting by phone will not be ideal. Having a larger screen will be needed to properly view the Yoga asanas, videos and graphics we'll be using
- Your location should also be large enough to perform some simple yoga postures.
Deep Experience and Deep Rest
- Extended practice of your TM technique, including remote group meditations, that provide greater familiarity with the inner creative silence of Pure Consciousness, and deep, rejuvenating rest for the body, for profound release of stress.
- Instruction in easy-to-practice Maharishi YogaSM Asanas, as well as the simple neuro-respiratory breathing technique of Sukh Pranayama. These gentle mind/body programs are effective in helping to remove surface stress and strain and smoothing the way to deepen your TM practice.
- If you have not been to a TM retreat before you should participate in the Zoom-based, pre-Retreat, free Maharishi Yoga Asana training on any (or all) Friday evening(s) at 5PM, or Sundays at 11AM Eastern Time. All participants are encouraged to take this training. It is a requirement for first-time retreat participants. If these times don't work for you, you may watch an archived session of the asana instruction.
All TM practitioners can register for this training here (Click). If you have already been trained in Maharishi Yoga Asanas, and are completely comfortable with your Maharishi Yoga Asana practice, you don't need to take instruction again. We'll review the asana instruction each morning. If you have never taken this online Asana course from MIU, we highly recommend you do. The instruction is more comprehensive than the 25-minute video instruction you may have seen on your prior retreats.
- Time for in-depth questions and answers on the different experiences you are having during meditation and in daily life and points of knowledge.
These retreats provide a way to restart—from a rested place of balance, liveliness, creativity and fulfillment. Please join us for as much of the schedule as you can.
Basic Online Retreat Schedule (all times are Eastern):
- We'll begin at 8:30 AM with an Asana review or at 9AM for those who are already completely comfortable with this set of Maharishi Yoga Asanas. You must join no later than 9AM.
- Saturday and Sunday Mornings will included a special extended program of Yoga Asanas, TM practice and rest, as well as a morning knowledge and experience meeting, and a group TM checking session. This 1/2 day retreat sessions will conclude about 12:30PM.
- Saturday and Sunday Afternoon. We'll connect again, after you have a good lunch and take a nice walk, for an optional, but highly recommended, interesting and valuable afternoon knowledge session from 2:15 PM to about 3:55 PM. For greatest benefit and smoothness, you'll need to have a very restful afternoon after the deep, morning extended-meditation program. Attending the afternoon meeting will assure that you don't get temped to be too active in the afternoon and you'll enjoy valuable knowledge about your self-development.
Then plan on doing your full afternoon meditation along with asanas, pranayama and extra rest, as you learned on the retreat at the same time with everyone.
Sidhas, we'll also begin at 8:30AM but your schedule will be specific to your TM-Sidhi program and be concurrent with program in the virtual dome and extend beyond that. You'll also enjoy morning and afternoon knowledge meetings.
For Sidhas and Meditators the morning extended meditation program sessions will have separate sessions as usual, but the afternoon knowledge meeting will be together.
Choose your fee: After registering for the retreat you'll be given a payment link along with other guidelines. Please make a minimum payment of $59 per day. We hope you'll consider more to help with our ongoing expenses. These past three years have been trying time for our TM center and the TM organization as a whole. We deeply appreciate and rely on your support to continue our 40-year tradition of holding TM retreats. As a guide, one-day (in-person) retreats usually have a fee of $135-$145 with lunch included.
Scholarship toward your first retreat
As long as funding allows, if this is your first-ever (online or in-person) retreat , you are invited to attend a one-day online free as long as space allows. We have a limited number of scholarship spaces on each retreat. A generous donor will contribute for you. Be sure to mention in the comments field of the application that you would like to take advantage of this scholarship opportunity. We'll do our best to honor your request.
If you would prefer to attend an in-person retreat, you can instead enjoy a $75 or $50 scholarship toward the next in-residence retreat and September 29-October 2 in Farmington, CT

We look forward to connecting with as many as possible. Our online weekend retreats have been very well received by both meditators and sidhas. Some even asked to be able to do this weekly. We'll meditate, chat, answer your questions, enjoy Maharishi's knowledge, and come together to enliven our own inner bliss, silence, and creative intelligence.
Wishing you happiness, health and enlightenment.
