Dr. Tony Nader. MD, PhD, is the international leader of the global TM organization. Dr. Nader is scheduled to connect by Zoom to address us and to take questions about Consciousness, its relationship to physiology, and how we can live the full potential of Consciousness in our daily lives. Dr. Nader was chosen by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to be his successor as the representative of our traditional knowledge and Maharishi's TM organization in this generation. This is a unique opportunity to hear live directly from Dr. Nader, and ask questions.
| | |
Mike and Kim Tompkins will join us in-person, as guest teachers for a dive into consciousness as the primary foundation of life. Mike was the principal editor of Dr. Nader's best-selling book, Consciousness Is All There Is. They will make the arena of Consciousness, and its full development, supremely easy to understand and appreciate in the context of our own daily experience of the TM technique and the growth of Pure Consciousness in our daily activity.
ABOUT MIKE & KIM:
Mike has had many years of association with Maharishi and holds doctoral degrees in Maharishi Vedic Science and the Science of Creative intelligence from MERU. He has represented the TM organization to diplomats at the UN, and government and media in Washington DC., has authored ten books on Maharishi’s teachings and was a member of the Maharishi Purusha program for many years in Uttarkashi in the Himalayas diving deep, researching consciousness as a field of all possibilities. Kim has taught TM since 1972 in the UK and US and recently led residence courses in Lancaster MA. Together Mike and Kim recently completed the Raja training program to represent the TM organization and Maharishi's knowledge at the highest level.

Dr. John Hagelin, President Emeritus of Maharishi International University, and a frequently-cited, quantum physicist, will join us by Zoom to present the latest understanding of consciousness, intelligence and physics.
Participants on our retreats over the years have been thrilled with Dr. Hagelin's lively, humorous, and insightful presentations. Dr. Hagelin just spoke with our Labor Day retreat and was profoundly appreciated by the participants. We wanted to give an even wider audience access to Dr. Hagelin's insights at this December event.

What is a TM Retreat?
Deep Experience and Deeply Rejuvenating Rest:
You will enjoy the extended practice of your TM program (including instruction in yoga asanas and pranayama) in a program designed by Maharishi to accelerate your growth of experience. This will provide greater familiarity with the inner creative silence of Pure Consciousness, and deep, rejuvenating rest for the body, resulting in a profound release of stress — which effortlessly provides the basis for greater clarity, more energy, love, and happiness when returning home.
Who is it for?
All TM meditators are welcome. Anyone who wants to elevate their TM practice and accelerate it's benefits, to feel clearer, more blissful, more energetic, and to gain a better understanding of the path to gaining their full potential. There will be discussions of experiences, correct TM practice (with lots of time for Q&A) talks by Maharishi and others on effortless TM practice, and the growth to higher states of consciousness.
| | Understanding and benefiting from Ayurveda: One of the Retreat meetings will be devoted to discussing the fundamentals of Maharishi Ayurveda including simple tips for the balance of the physical and emotional heart, improved digestion, better health, more restful sleep and greater balance in life, from this complete and ancient science of natural health and longevity. | | |
What meditators say about our TM retreats
"This was exactly what I needed to release a few hefty layers [of stress]! The reality that I now perceive is just astonishing...I feel grounded, centered, and filled to the brim with vital energy. I lack the words to describe exactly how bright and balanced I feel," - D.G.
"I just can't find the words to adequately express what this retreat did for me. My meditation practice seems broader and deeper. It is as though I am more comfortable on a deeper level, more at peace with a quiet joy." - M.B.
" I have been completely transformed. I had been experiencing a lot of stress and deep anxiety. I now feel rejuvenated, calm, peaceful, and grounded. In addition, I was also deeply moved by the profound knowledge. I experienced deep rest, rejuvenation, and bliss and it continues with me." - E.K.

This Hilton has been one of our most popular facilities
Meals: Lunches will again be catered by Krishna (from Haveli India restaurant) who has delighted our participants on past retreats for the last several years. Krishna was trained in his youth as a Maharishi Vedic Pundit with Maharishi in India. Dinners will be by the very capable hotel chef who in the past has done a nice job at this facility. This has been a popular location we have enjoyed many times. Everyone loves the food and comfortable accommodations. The Hilton Garden Inn in Glastonbury is a generally quiet, small hotel, set well back from the street, in a business park and has been suitable for our needs. We have had about sixteen retreats here over the past 10 years. Some of our largest and best turnouts have been here.
Schedule, Arrival, and Departure: All arrivals are on Friday, December 5. Retreat registration opens at 3 PM. We suggest, if possible, you arrive by 5 PM so you can settle into your room, do your evening meditation, and come to dinner at 7 PM. The evening orientation meeting begins at 8:15 p.m. You'll need to arrive by then so that you receive your instructions for the course program you'll be doing in your room upon arising. Departure is after lunch on your last day. The full days of the retreat are full and self-sufficient; we ask that you leave any work, novels, etc. at home.
