NORTHEAST WORLD PEACE ASSEMBLIES & RESIDENCE COURSES
A Meditator Residence Course (or World Peace Assembly for practitioners of the TM-Sidhi® program) is an opportunity to spend a weekend gaining deep, revitalizing rest while enjoying profound knowledge in a beautiful settled atmosphere. The course includes: extended practice of the TM technique; neuromuscular and neurorespiratory programs of the Maharishi Vedic Approach to HealthSM, group meditations and discussions about experiences with the TM technique; and videotaped presentations by Maharishi on higher states of consciousness. This unique experience of deep silence over a weekend, results in a profound reduction of accumulated stress and tension and forms the basis for the maintenance of unbounded awareness, inner happiness and Support of Nature in all aspects of daily life.
Many practitioners of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program take time for a Residence Course or World Peace Assembly on a regular basis. They report that just one weekend of deep rest offers a revitalization enjoyed for months. A Residence Course is a prerequisite to taking the TM-Sidhi program and is the best way to gain a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of Maharishi Vedic ScienceSM

Our Residence Course facilities serve delicious, freshly-prepared organic meals and benefit from the Sthapatya-Ved influence of being oriented perfectly to the east.

A letter from a recent course participant:
Dear Gail and Richard,
Thanks so much for a totally peaceful memorial weekend. There is no better place to gain rest, enjoy delightful conversations with like minds, and eat fresh, healthy and delicious food. Your attention to every detail is hidden by the seamless flow of the leisurely schedule that many might take for granted. Knowing all the particulars it takes to accommodate all the individual needs of such a diverse group and have everyone be so satisfied each and every course you run is a feat only someone who has attempted organizing courses before can appreciate..
We in the Northeast are blessed to have such convenient and well organized courses available and most of all you two who give so much and ask so little in return. Those who may not be taking advantage of these opportunities are truly missing a sublime experience right in their own backyard.
Gratefully yours,
Robert
