This course will be offered during the first two days of the October 12-19 WPA.

Until recently, this very special course had not been offered in the United States for many years. We expect it will be well attended, so please apply early. See below for more details.


World Peace Assembly Schedule


World Peace Assemblies offer an opportunity to enjoy extended practice of the TM and TM-Sidhi programs and gain deep and revitalizing rest. Enjoy the soft, silent atmosphere created by the PurushaSM program in a secluded forest setting. This is the place to totally relax, switch off, and dive into your experiences, with fresh mountain air, scenic walks, and the added benefit of living in a facility designed according to Maharishi Vastu® architecture.


Our spacious accommodations, panoramic mountain views, delicious organic vegetarian cuisine, good company, and beautiful knowledge talks by Maharishi all contribute to a delightful experience. We may add special guest course leaders and course themes for several of our courses at a later date.
