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 effortle ss TM practice, and the growth to higher states of consciousness, and the principles and daily practice of Maharishi Ayurveda.

What participants say about our TM retreats and WPAs

"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," - D.G.

"Thank you! My first WPA in about 10 years went really well. The extended program with the beautiful and wise women's sidha group was an invaluable experience. The benefit I have felt most since returning has been greater coherence. My anxiety and flight/fight modes have diminished. I feel more supported. Your gift of articulating and clarifying Vedic knowledge is the most extraordinary. Our Lady of Calvary is such an ideal setting for these retreats. Imbued with spirituality and profound quiet and simplicity, it allows us to dive within effortlessly. The food is so delicious and just right for rounding. A million thanks. I will be back. 🙏"- J.M.

" 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 our seventh retreat at OLC

OLC is a charming Catholic retreat facility in Farmington CT on 12 acres of lovely silent, serene grounds. https://www.ourladyofcalvary.net/

The capacity is about 40. Please apply immediately.

Like most Catholic retreat facilities, the rooms are quite small, and very simple, with a single twin bed, and a sink in the room. Each has a padded chair and a small closet area. Clean, ample group baths are in each hallway.

The meeting hall is large, airy, and very pleasant with lots of natural light and lovely wooded scenes enjoyed through the large windows. The seating is very comfortable with plenty of room. There is even a baby grand piano in the meeting hall and a very large (about 96-inch) monitor screen for viewing our videos, video conferencing, and presentations.

Since the building is usually home to OLC's own retreats, please be aware that the bedrooms and meeting hall may have religious art.

The dining room is a spacious, charming, and cozy space. The facility is deeply silent and there will be no others at the facility but us! If you find the bedroom too small for yoga asanas, there are plenty of other rooms and comfortable areas to do that in if you so choose. Bring your yoga mat and if you do not have one, please request one, and we will provide that for you. You can also buy one at the gift store.

The grounds for a peaceful walk and talk are "hallowed ground “ as the Director put it and offer great depth of silence and beauty. There are occasional deer on the property.

Everything is on one floor but 20 of the bedrooms are on a lower ground level where we would house those who have no difficulty with stairs. There is no elevator but the stairs are comfortable to climb and descend. All those who need no stairs can be housed on the floor with no stairs. Please let us know.

The kitchen staff has consistently gone above and beyond to provide the kind of meals we require. They are very kind and generous with their time. As always, all meals will be vegetarian, but not vegan. If you have dietary restrictions we need to be informed of your exact needs well in advance to verify that they can be accommodated.

From a recent Retreat at Our Lady of Calvary:

"Really loved and needed last weekend's reconnection to TM that you both hosted so beautifully. I loved the retreat house in all aspects. It was quietly nestled in the woods with fascinating trees and bird life inspiring us on walks and during our meetings through the large glass window beyond the TV screen. The food was perfect for rounding. Vegetarian, light, delicious, and easy to digest between rounds. The rooms were very clean and quiet. The fact it is a religious retreat by design gave a lovely built-in meditative atmosphere to the space before we even started The staff were lovely and tried to accommodate any need. I give it 5 stars and will be back" . - S.T.

Schedule, Arrival, and Departure: All arrivals are on Friday. 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 8:00 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.
