Sun, sea and stillness: a week to recharge, and discover self-care tools to last a lifetime

Step away from everyday life for a week of rest and renewal in Arillas, a quiet village on Corfu's beautiful north-west coast.

It’s an ideal setting to learn the technique of Transcendental Meditation with Certified teachers. To get the most out of the course, you'll have both a restful yet uplifting daily routine, practise gentle yoga postures twice a day, deepen your understanding of your own innate nature through Maharishi AyurVeda healthcare, and have a taste of Maharishi Marma Therapy.

There's plenty of time to swim in the turquoise Ionian Sea, enjoy delicious vegetarian Greek food and get to know like-minded people.

You'll leave with simple tools to live a fuller, more balanced life, and ongoing support to help you maintain your new practices at home.

What is Transcendental Meditation?

Transcendental Meditation, or TM, is a simple, natural, effortless technique which allows the mind to experience it’s inner most self – pure consciousness.

Experience of this level gives the mind and body profound rest and allows it to rebalance itself resulting in a range of evidence-based benefits.

It doesn't involve any concentration or control of the mind, and can be practised by anyone, sitting comfortably in a chair for 20 minutes.

Reduction in stress, anxiety and depression

Reduction in symptoms of PTSD and ADHD

Increase in mental clarity and creativity

Improvement in heart health, sleep and other stress-related health conditions

Questions

Before you book

Do I have to have meditated before? +

No. The course is for complete beginners, and many guests have never meditated before. Angela and Sarah teach you step by step over the week, so there’s nothing to prepare in advance.

What's included in the price, and what isn't? +

Your booking covers accommodation, breakfast and dinner daily, two lunches out, airport transfers, the TM course, daily workshops and group talks, and an excursion to an olive farm. Flights, lunch on four days, and alcoholic drinks aren’t included.

Can I attend if I have a health condition? +

In most cases, yes. When you book, you’ll fill in a short health declaration, and you can talk through anything that concerns you in your 15-minute chat with Angela or Sarah. It helps to mention anything on your mind early.

What happens after I book? +

Once you’ve paid your deposit, you’ll book a 15-minute video chat with Angela or Sarah, and you’ll be sent a short introductory film about TM to watch beforehand. If the retreat is right for you, you’ll then receive a link to pay the balance, along with a guide to preparing for the week. If it isn’t, your deposit is refunded in full. About two weeks before the retreat, there’s a group Zoom call to help you get ready.

Will I be able to keep up the practice once I'm home? +

Yes. Within ten days of returning, you’ll join a group check-in call, then monthly group calls for six months. You’ll also be welcome in the TM Glasgow community and at your local TM centre.
