Women’s one-day retreat
A day of deep rest, meditation, and connection with other women
Start: Saturday • 10 October 2026 • 09:00
End: Saturday • 10 October 2026 • 17:00
Type: Retreat
Location: In-residence
Open to: Female TM Meditators, TM Sidhas, TM Teachers
Application deadline: 5 October 2026
Fee: €70
What to expect
There is a distinct comfort when women come together, a sense of safety that makes space for freer conversation and deeper rest.
Throughout the day, group TM and TM-Sidhi programme is alternated with Maharishi Yoga Asanas and prāṇāyāma. Meditating together in a group often helps the mind settle more deeply than meditating alone.
We will watch Maharishi’s video, “Awakening the Value of Mother Divine and Human Awareness”, along with time for questions and experience sharing with TM teachers, a great chance to troubleshoot your practice and hear how other women experience theirs.
MERU’s Maharishi Vastu buildings and natural surroundings are designed to support rest, so the environment itself does some of the work too.
The language of the retreat is English.
Would you like to stay longer?
This retreat falls right before the Vedic recitation retreat (nine days of Mother Divine). If you would like to stay on, you are warmly welcome to join the Vedic recitation retreat via this link.

What past participants say
Wonderful course, most appreciated for advanced Maharishi’s knowledge tapes. The opportunity to visit Maharishi’s house and having TM Sidhi administrator on site was a great bonus. The food was delicious. Attention and kindness of the staff and course leaders.
Anna Creese, participant of the Winter assembly
Very well organised course with much deep knowledge, and the recitations were wonderful to experience. The course leader was very inspiring and knowledgeable. A beautiful new building. The room was comfortable, and very nice to have access to a kitchen in the building. Wonderful food served at all meals.
Participant of Vedic recitation retreat
The new building is beautiful, also the room was a pleasure to be in. A warm welcome upon arriving. Everything was perfect. The course, the accommodation, the food, the friendliness. I really felt at home at MERU and felt a little sad to leave.
Chris Brocaar, participant of the Winter assembly
It was truly very sattvic, a beautiful experience, a lovely atmosphere. I enjoyed this so much. To be present with Dr Tony Nader in one room is another level. The course to be held at MERU I felt as a blessing.
Conny Postel, participant of the Advanced Maharishi Vedic science course
It was a wonderful experience and staying on campus was really special. Sara Alvarez makes THE DIFFERENCE. She is sweet and knows a lot. Lila Maria also was perfect and the ladies from the treatments are very very special! It was the BEST abhyanga of my life and the marma treatment was very special too.
Danielle Secco, participant of Vedic recitation retreat
I had the surprising opportunity to spend a night in the new Academy building. As soon as I entered, I was struck by a powerful atmosphere that seemed to reorganise and restructure my entire personality. While meditating in my room, I experienced an infinite inner expansion.
G.C., stayed at MERU
I felt waves of bubbling bliss arising from within myself when I was seated in Maharishi’s house. I feel a shield of invincibility surrounding myself since I’m back home. No amount of criticism can distract me from that bliss and calm that I feel on the inside.
Emmerich, participant of the Winter assembly
Very good feeling staying in the new Vastu building. Had a deep program. I was enjoying the meals. Great job having prepared the Academy building from a working place to a comfortable place to stay.
Marret, participant of the Winter assembly
