ONLINE RETREATS

Quiet the noise and reconnect to the Self. 

Enjoy expanded awareness and deep rest as a foundation for a fulfilling academic block!

“Retreats truly enliven consciousness, offering a safe space for meditators to gather, share experiences, seek advice from experienced teachers, and enjoy a profound connection with our community and with pure consciousness.”

“Experiencing the half-day TM retreats has been a wonderful journey home every time. I have experienced much deeper meditation and a deeper sense of calm, which continues to surprise me as it expands exponentially. Even my resilience has grown. I am constantly reminded by this inner awareness that I am always taken care of and am always exactly where I need to be.”

These half-day online retreats—offered through MIU’s Distance Education Department—help you settle the mind, balance the body, and strengthen your connection with your Self.

• Extra Transcendental Meditation practice
• Yoga asanas and pranayama for balance and vitality
