ON-CAMPUS RETREATS
Profound rest and transformation
“I haven’t felt this rested in years!”
“I experienced, for the first time, complete silence in my mind… It felt like a big, warm, safe hug of calmness…”
On-campus TM Retreats give you the opportunity to step away from your usual routine, enjoy deeper rest, and give more time to your experience of Transcendental Meditation.
Spend a weekend in a quiet, supportive environment with extra TM practice, Maharishi Yoga Asanas and pranayama, knowledge, TM Tune-Ups, good food, and time to rest. You’ll return to your studies or work refreshed and ready for the next block.
