I have attended at least one retreat per year since I began my TM, so 9-10 approx and I would totally recommend this for all, whether beginners, many years in, steady with TM, or on and off. The benefits that I have found are: Getting back into the habit if strayed from consistency at all, Meeting new and like-minded people and catching up with previous friends, Group meditation and discussion afterward that has opened my eyes to what others experience and better understanding my own experiences, Information sessions recorded by Maharishi , The yoga, breathing, meditation, rest sessions: in the privacy of your own room and being able to go your own pace, Info sessions by Wendy and others: new info, timely reminders, increased understanding each time, getting back to the basics, very patient with ensuring all questions are answered, The glorious, yummy vegetarian food, Extraordinary location of the eco-lodge at Glass House Mountains for walking, exploring, the peace and tranquillity of nature, And the lodge itself / the uniqueness of the rooms and buildings, train carriages, chapels – with their own orchard and gardens incorporating many interesting art pieces to check out.
