Description of the Retreat

Learn Transcendental Meditation on Retreat: Have more than just a fabulous, profoundly relaxing break. Take home a skill which will enhance your life more and more as the years go by. Transcendental Meditation is the simplest, most powerful and natural approach to meditation, representing a major breakthrough compared with other understandings. Through deep rest and profound stress release, it brings benefits in all areas of life naturally and without effort. Our courses are run regularly – Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, with Dr Gemma Beckley, TM teacher, Clinical Psychologist & Meditation Trust Director, alongside an advanced retreat for those who have already learned.
You will enjoy the standard Transcendental Meditation course, but with the following added ingredients: Wonderfully tranquil, beautiful environment and fantastic vegetarian food! EXTRA group meditation sessions and meetings for deeper experience and understanding. More time to chat privately with your teacher if desired. A FREE 1 hour yoga posture instruction session with a qualified instructor.

Teacher/Teachings

Transcendental Meditation (TM) is the simplest, most natural and effortless technique of meditation – so simple that the adult technique can be learned from the age of ten. But it is also the most advanced and fundamentally different approach because the simplicity is based on a profound and complete understanding of not just the mind and its behaviour but also the body, and how the two interact during deep meditation, something not understood in virtually any other approach. Therefore a maximum of 20 minutes, twice a day, sitting in a comfortable chair are all that is required. This is why when Dr. Deepak Chopra, world-renowned speaker and author of more than 50 books on meditation and its associated practices, learned TM in 1980 he called it ‘Real’ meditation because, he said, it represented a major break-through in interpretation of this very ancient knowledge.
This knowledge of transcendence (traditionally known as yoga), which means the mind settling effortlessly into silence, is the most powerful key to unlock your inner potential for self-healing and personal growth because it is simple and natural and therefore works for everyone. Frequently, those who have learned, or even taught, other forms of meditation, are astonished when they learn Transcendental Meditation that the simplicity and effectiveness of their new knowledge produces results that may have eluded them for years.
TM is not concentration or visualisation, nor is it control or even mindfulness. Using a mantra (or sound) upon which to gently and innocently rest our attention, we simply allow the mind the freedom to follow its natural tendency towards happiness, and it will settle spontaneously into silence. This unique approach, passed on during personal instruction by a teacher trained as directed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, comes from the ancient Vedic traditation of India.
The resulting peace (sometimes, and increasingly, blissful) allows the body also to gain very deep rest (much deeper than sleep), in which it can dissolve even its deepest stresses accumulated as a result of life’s worst traumas. As we emerge refreshed and revitalised from the silence of meditation, this has the potential to produce sometimes dramatic improvements in any area of our life, as indicated by a vast and ever increasing body of research over the last 45 years. However, for most people, the biggest results come gradually and comfortably over time.

      Testimonials

      Testimonials:

      “Both house and food were wonderful and perfect, the course joyful, insightful and personal, with a wonderful teacher. The schedule was packed but the course itself enlightens you on how to truly rest, so the momentum was perfect. Group discussions were helpful and pleasurable, and the individual sessions with our teacher meant we all were able to discuss/elaborate on our personal experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to all.” Alice Crimini

      “It was my first retreat and I absolutely loved it. I have been meditating for over 12 months now and found the deep rest of the meditation combined with the tranquil surroundings nourishing and I now feel ready to face the world!” Tom Scott
