The  TM ^®  Program

What is an online  TM  Retreat?

The Online Half-Day TM Retreat includes:

• An additional period of morning TM ^®  practice, Group Checking, and exclusive videos by  TM  Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to enrich your TM practice and broaden your understanding of the growth of consciousness and development of full potential.
• Instruction in easy-to-practice  Maharishi Yoga ^SM  Asanas (gentle stretching positions) and Pranayama (a simple breathing exercise) to enhance your TM experience.
• Time for in-depth questions and answers on experiences during TM practice and in daily life.

Who is it for?

Anyone who practices the TM technique is invited to attend. Whether you are a new meditator or have been experiencing the benefits of TM practice for years, you will enjoy a half-day of deeply revitalizing rest and profound knowledge, followed by an optional, but highly recommended, afternoon knowledge meeting, allowing us to go more deeply into your experiences in TM, your growth to higher states of consciousness, the knowledge of Ayurveda, and more of Maharishi's 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 9 AM for those who are already completely comfortable with this set of Maharishi Yoga Asanas.  
• You must join no later than 9 AM.
• Saturday and Sunday Mornings  will include 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. These 1/2 day retreat sessions will conclude about 12:30 PM.
• 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 the 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 ensure that you don't get tempted 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 8:30 AM but your schedule will be specific to your TM-Sidhi program and be concurrent with the 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 $63 per day. We hope you'll consider giving more to help with our ongoing expenses. These past 3-4 years have been a trying time for our TM center and the TM organization as a whole. We deeply appreciate and rely on your support to continue our over 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 retreat, you are invited to attend a complimentary, one-day online retreat 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 (3 nights/2 nights) toward the next in-residence retreat.

Please apply ASAP...Availability will be limited.

PLEASE NOTE:

Make sure to complete the TM instruction date, location, and teacher's name fields to the best of your ability so we can verify your TM Instruction. For Sidhas, please also make sure to complete your TM-Sidhi course info.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to connecting with as many as possible. Our online weekend retreats have been very well received by both meditators and sidhas. 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.
