For our upcoming schedule of retreats, please visit www.northeasttmretreats.org 

Join us for another WPA and Retreat at Maharishi Vedic Center in Lancaster, MA. This is a gorgeous location that everyone should experience while it is available.

• Beautiful talks of Maharishi: Video talks from 1968 to the most recent on everything from the correct start of meditation to profound understanding of Higher States of Consciousness - with plenty of time devoted to answering all of your questions and discussing your experiences.

• Understanding Ayurveda: One of the meetings will be devoted to understanding the fundamentals of Maharishi Ayurveda including simple tips for improved digestion, better health, more restful sleep and greater balance, from this complete and ancient science of natural health and longevity.

• Deep Experience and Deep Rest:
Extended practice of your TM program will provide greater familiarity with the inner creative silence of Pure Consciousness, and deep, rejuvenating rest for the body, which facilitates profound release of stress. This provides the basis for greater clarity, energy, happiness and joy when returning home. You'll receive instruction in neuro-muscular and neuro-respiratory procedures (gentle Maharishi Yoga asanas and a simple, easy Pranayama breathing practice) that will add to and integrate the extended TM practice.

• Your course leaders: Richard and Gail Dalby have led over 400 TM retreats and have been teaching the TM technique for 40 years. 

Retreat time-line: Friday afternoon, check-in begins at 3 PM. It is good to arrive by 5:30PM so you can comfortably check into your room, do your evening meditation and come to dinner at 7PM. Otherwise participants need to arrive latest by 8:15PM in time for the orientation meeting. You would depart after lunch on the day of your departure.

Retreat Fees*
(per person: includes full course program, room, and all meals)
About the rooms: All rooms have private bath. This is an early 1900's mansion, once the summer home of the Thayer family. As such there are many different types of rooms. Until recently, it was home to the famous Maharishi Ayurveda Health Center, an Ayurvedic spa frequented in its heyday by George Harrison and friends, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, and many others.
Economy rooms are quite small with a single bed. They have their own (not shared) bath but it is usually down the hall a few steps. Most do not have closets or dressers but rather hooks on the door for hanging clothes. They are in the area of the building that used to be the Ayurveda Spa treatment area.
Basic rooms are in the main house usually on the third floor (no elevator) or the second floor of what used to be, in the days of the Thayers, the service and staff personnel living quarters. Most have a full bed, but 2 have singles. 
Standard Luxury and Royal rooms are the main second floor (and one first floor) bedrooms that the family used. Standard Luxury rooms have a queen or full bed; Royal rooms have king bed (one has a queen).

What participants are saying:

"... a wonderful experience for me. I feel a lot calmer. I gained a lot of knowledge... and a profound realization. I enjoyed your company and the other meditators. I felt incredible positive energy all around. I continue to experience it." - A.K.

"I just can’t find the words to adequately express what this retreat did for me. My meditation practice seems broader and deeper. It is as though I am more comfortable on a deeper level, more at peace with a quiet joy." — M.B. 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to sharing this profound knowledge and experience with you during the special time that is a TM retreat.

Wishing you happiness, health and enlightenment.
