Course Fees:
Choose your fee:
After registering for the retreat you'll be given a payment link along with other guidelines. Please make a minimum payment of $68 per day. We hope you'll consider more to help with our ongoing expenses. These past three years have been a trying time for our TM center and the TM organization as a whole. We deeply appreciate and rely on your support to continue our 43-year tradition of holding in-person and online TM retreats. As a guide, one-day (in-person) retreats usually have a fee of $135-$150 with lunch included.
Would a $50 scholarship toward your first retreat inspire you to attend?
As long as funding allows, if this is your first-ever retreat, and it would help you participate, you are invited to attend a complimentary, one-day online retreat as long as space allows. Just pay an $18 registration/application fee. We have a limited number of scholarship spaces on each retreat. A generous donor will contribute on your behalf. Be sure to mention in the comments field of the application that you would like to take advantage of this scholarship opportunity. We'll do our best to honor your request.
If you would prefer to attend an in-person retreat, you can instead enjoy a $75 or $50 scholarship (3 nights/2 nights) toward the next in-residence retreat.
Arrival and Departure:
These retreats provide a way to restart...from a rested place of balance, liveliness, creativity, and fulfillment. Please join us for as much of the schedule as you can.
Basic Online Retreat Schedule (all times are Eastern):
We'll begin at 8:30 AM with an Asana review, or at 9 AM for those who are already completely comfortable with this set of Maharishi Yoga Asanas.
You must join no later than 9 AM (sharp).
Mornings will include a special extended program of Maharishi Yoga Asanas, extra TM practice, as well as a morning knowledge and experience meeting, and a group TM checking session. These 1/2 day retreat sessions will conclude about 12:30 PM.
Afternoon Knowledge Meetings. We'll connect again, after you have a good lunch and take a nice walk, for an optional, but highly recommended, interesting and valuable afternoon knowledge session from 2:15 PM to about 3:55 PM.
For the greatest benefit and smoothness, and to avoid strain, you'll need to have a very restful afternoon after the deep, morning extended meditation program. Attending the afternoon meeting will ensure that you don't get tempted to be too active in the afternoon and you'll enjoy valuable, useful knowledge about your health and self-development. You'll also enjoy the company of other wonderful, like-minded,TM practitioners.
Then plan on doing your full afternoon meditation along with asanas, pranayama, and extra rest, as you learned on the retreat at the same time with everyone.
Sidhas Schedule
Sidhas, we'll begin at 8:30 AM sharp but your schedule will be specific to your TM-Sidhi program and be concurrent with the program in the virtual dome and extend beyond that. You'll also enjoy morning and afternoon knowledge meetings.
For Sidhas and Meditators, the morning extended meditation program sessions will have separate sessions as usual, but the afternoon knowledge meeting will be together.
PLEASE NOTE:
Make sure to complete the TM instruction date, location, and teacher's name fields to the best of your ability so we can verify your TM Instruction. For Sidhas, please also make sure to complete your TM-Sidhi course info.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to connecting with as many as possible. Our online weekend retreats have been very well received by both meditators and sidhas. Some have even asked to be able to do this weekly. We'll meditate, chat, answer your questions, enjoy Maharishi's knowledge, and come together to enliven our own inner bliss, silence, and creative intelligence.
