What is a TM Retreat?

Deep Experience and Deep Rejuvenating Rest:

You will enjoy the extended practice of your TM program (including instruction in yoga asanas and pranayama) in a program designed by Maharishi to accelerate your growth of experience. This will provide greater familiarity with the inner creative silence of Pure Consciousness, and deep, rejuvenating rest for the body, resulting in a profound release of stress which effortlessly provides the basis for greater clarity, more energy, love, and happiness when returning home.

Who is it for?

All TM meditators are welcome. Anyone who wants to accelerate the benefits of their TM practice, to feel clearer, more blissful, more energetic, and to gain a better understanding of the path to gaining their full potential. There will be discussions of experiences, with lots of time for Q&A, talks by Maharishi and others on effortless TM practice, and the growth to higher states of consciousness.

What meditators say about our TM retreats

"This was exactly what I needed to release a few hefty layers [of stress]! The reality that I now perceive is just astonishing...I feel grounded, centered, and filled to the brim with vital energy. I lack the words to describe exactly how bright and balanced I feel," - Darcie

" 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.

" I have been completely transformed. I had been experiencing a lot of stress and deep anxiety. I now feel rejuvenated, calm, peaceful, and grounded. In addition, I was also deeply moved by the profound knowledge. I experienced deep rest, rejuvenation, and bliss and it continues with me." - E.K.

This Hilton has been one of our most popular facilities

Meals : Lunches will again be catered by Krishna (from Haveli India restaurant) who has delighted our participants on past retreats for the last several years. Krishna was trained in his youth as a Maharishi Vedic Pundit with Maharishi in India. Dinners will be by the very capable hotel chef who in the past has done a nice job at this facility. This has been a popular location we have enjoyed many times. Everyone loves the food and comfortable accommodations. The Hilton Garden Inn in Glastonbury is a generally quiet, small hotel, set well back from the street, in a business park and has been suitable for our needs. We have had about sixteen retreats here over the past 10 years. Some of our largest and best turnouts have been here.

Schedule, Arrival, and Departure: All arrivals are on Friday, December 6. Retreat registration opens at 3 PM. We suggest, if possible, you arrive by 5 PM so you can settle into your room, do your evening meditation, and come to dinner at 7 PM. The evening orientation meeting begins at 8:15 p.m. You'll need to arrive by then so that you receive your instructions for the course program you'll be doing in your room upon arising. Departure is after lunch on your last day. The full days of the retreat are full and self-sufficient; we ask that you leave any work, novels, etc. at home.
