Rest...Renew...Revitalise!Residential Courses & Events for Meditators and Sidhas at Maharishi Garden Village, Rendlesham, Suffolk

Course Calendar

October 2015 - July 2016

“ The quality of the body is responsible for the quality of awareness. So if the body is restricted for its full functioning due to stresses, we do everything to get them out as soon as possible. So we have these procedures, these very well balanced procedures, of rounding** - weekend courses or week courses - that have been designed for the sake of fulfilling this requirement of life.” - Maharishi

The focus is on deep rest.

Typical benefits include increased creativity, renewed depth of experiences in daily meditation and more happiness in daily life.

Sample the unique atmosphere of this Vastu* development ‘Maharishi Garden Village’, deep in the heart of rural Suffolk, offering warm hospitality and delicious vegetarian food. Enjoy the restful schedule, which is the same on all the weekend courses; make new friends, catch-up with old ones and

luxuriate in early bedtimes and optional after-lunch walks.

Courses are led by experienced TM teachers who explain everything clearly, including new concepts. Ask questions about your experiences and hear others talking about theirs. Sit back and enjoy the settled atmosphere.

Enjoy group meditations, meetings and discussions, including profound video-taped

lectures of Maharishi®. The themes of the course are a way of lightly bringing out a particular aspect of Maharishi’s knowledge, with the main focus on deepening your experience of transcending.

Enrich your experience of meditation with ‘rounding’,** a programme of extra sessions of Transcendental Meditation alternated with gentle yoga postures (Asanas) and a simple breathing technique (Pranayama), which are demonstrated if unfamiliar, and are practised in the privacy of your accommodation.

Courses for everyone. Is this your first TM Residential Course or your twentieth?

Check the symbols next to each course listing which explain who the courses are suitable for.

Unique course location*

“… when you are living in a proper Vastu there is a connectedness with your own cosmic status...” - Maharishi

We are greatly affected by the environment we live in and Maharishi emphasised the importance of living in a building constructed according to the principles of Vastu - buildings in tune with Natural Law.

Come and enjoy a taste of ‘Vastu-living’ by staying a few days in Maharishi Garden Village whilst attending one of our restful TM weekend courses - a beautiful development in rural Suffolk of 60 dwellings, where all the buildings are designed according to this most ancient form of architecture, yet with a delightful Suffolk Georgian style.

This is a great opportunity to experience for yourself what Vastu is like. Amongst other benefits, visitors report sleeping better and that the atmosphere is perfect to dive deep in their meditation. This effect should be greatly magnified once we host courses in the Peace Palace itself. Extend your stay to enjoy all that this area of outstanding natural beauty has to offer.
