Meditators Loved the Week-Long Spring TM Retreat at MIU
“I highly suggest that anyone go to a week-long retreat because the benefits are immense. The people that I met, the habits I picked up, the peace that I found are lasting more than just that week and are resonating as part of lifestyle changes that will affect the rest of my life. It can’t be overstated how much I gained from this retreat.” —A.W., Michigan
“This was wonderful and the best retreat I’ve ever attended. I think that staying for seven days really makes a difference in allowing you to settle into the whole purpose of a retreat, and that is to relax, and to strengthen your knowledge and practice of your meditation. I am a long-time and consistent meditator, and this retreat has been like a tune-up for me in that my meditations are now even stronger and more powerful. The course organizers made us feel that they were always there for us any time, to answer any question or help with any assistance that we might need. It was wonderful to have such great teachers and speakers sharing their knowledge, helping to strengthen the knowledge of my TM practice.” —Ted Stekkinger, Ventura, California
“This was an amazing experience! It was my first Transcendental Meditation retreat. I learned TM in 2019 after losing everything I owned, and I credit it with saving my life. As we all know, life gets busy, and I was not consistent in my practice. Since the retreat, I have been consistent twice a day with my asanas, pranayama, and meditation every single day! The people who attended were absolutely amazing, and every single staff member was caring and attentive. I would like to thank everyone involved for giving me a wonderful experience.” —Kelly L., Muscatine, Iowa
“The quality of every day—thus my life—is profoundly calmer and richer, emotionally, intellectually, creatively. Finally, I am connecting to ME.” —Oriana J.B., Santa Barbara, California
“I found the time and space to be with myself and to enjoy being with myself. My grieving process found some kind of relief while I was there.” —Marisol Boschetti-Divo, Miami, Florida
“TM gives me a smile!” —C.A.T., Rochester, Minnesota
