MERU Academy

MERU Academy Looking for a place to truly rest and experience the Self? Many find the clarity and rest stay with them long after they leave.

At MERU in Vlodrop, the Netherlands, we offer courses, retreats, and events based on Maharishi Technologies of Consciousness. In April of 1975, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi founded Maharishi European Research University (MERU) in Switzerland – a university promoting research into consciousness as a field of all possibilities. In 1984, MERU purchased a campus in a national forest near Vlodrop, the Netherl

ands. It was here where Maharishi spent the last 18 years of his life. Over the last four decades, MERU International has played many roles in the international Transcendental Meditation (TM) organisations. We’re the headquarters for the TM organisations’ administration worldwide, a health centre and organising partner for conferences on health care, and a host for courses and retreats for the global and local TM communities. But above all, MERU is a centre for knowledge – a place for understanding Maharishi’s profound framework of life. Helping the global TM community grow in the understanding and experience of consciousness, MERU continues the mission Maharishi gave us: to promote a healthy, vibrant, and peaceful society for all.

We have a wonderful new online course coming up: ‘Maharishi’s Insights into Vedic Science’

This course bridges the gap between experiencing Transcendental Meditation and understanding the profound Vedic science behind it. Like knowing the difference between seeing a diamond and understanding its true value, this knowledge transforms how you relate to your practice and your life.

We’ll have 5 chapters, 90-minute sessions with interactive Q&A and it’s suitable for all TM meditators (no prior Vedic knowledge required).

We’ll have a free Q&A session on September 3rd, so you can ask any questions before we start. Here is the link to register for the free Q&A session is: https://meru.international/course/free-online-session-maharishis-insights-into-vedic-science/

Are you reading Dr. Tony Nader’s new book, ''The Power of Caring''? Or have you already finished it? Maybe you haven’t started it yet?

During our Global Guru Purnima assembly, almost all of our guests received a copy of the book and had the opportunity to get it signed by Dr. Tony Nader.

We’d love to hear from you! Tell us in the comments: Have you started reading ''The Power of Caring''? If so, what do you think so far?

How do you tell the difference between conscious caring and forced positivity?

Dr Tony Nader explains it so clearly and beautifully in this clip. 🙏

And if you would like to watch the full conversation, it is called “Choosing to Care When Life Gives You Every Reason Not To” with Hal Elrod. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAUZ1lg_bqk&t=1816s

During the Global Guru Purnima Assembly, we had a very special event: MERU Academy Picnic.

With our lovely assembly participants, we enjoyed good food, each other's company, sat on the grass and chatted, listened to music and couldn’t resist it so we danced. Everyone was cheering each other on, smiling and simply enjoying the beautiful atmosphere.

We had a spin-to-win wheel and participants won amazing gifts such as private calls with our highly esteemed experts, free online courses, complimentary dinners and many more...

We had a wonderful time together that we will look back on and remember with a smile. We wanted to share how it went with you and hope that you can join us one day too.

This is your sign to learn the Transcendental Meditation technique. 🤍

You may have heard about TM before. Millions of people practice it and you may have heard actors, directors, scientists or simply a friend talking about their experience with it. But perhaps you’ve never had the chance to learn it and experience it for yourself.

At MERU, the international headquarters of Transcendental Meditation, we are organizing a Learn TM retreat.

You’ll learn a technique that can stay with you for the rest of your life and begin experiencing its evidence-based benefits. Here is the link to read the details and apply: https://meru.international/course/learn-tm-summer/

And if you already practise TM, tag a friend who should join you at our retreat, or tell us in the comments why you think people should learn TM.

Before summer is over and life gets very busy again, we have a good suggestion for you. Our TM Weekend retreat is coming up very soon at MERU.

Give yourself the time you deserve for deep rest and rejuvenation.

Your daily TM meditation happens in the middle of everything else: work, family, and the pace of ordinary life. This retreat gives your practice a different setting for two nights, where meditation comes first, deepened by extended group practice in a peaceful and supportive environment designed to help you settle, recharge, and go deeper.
