About the West Virginia Purusha Campus
Let’s dive in!
Dive deep on a TM Retreat – with the option to learn an Advanced Technique
“
The purpose of Advanced Techniques is to take the experience to another, higher level. Advanced Techniques are like fertilizers; fertilizers bring better fruit to every tree. To enjoy greater achievement and fulfillment in life, take advantage of this beautiful program of Advanced Techniques to enrich the development of higher states of consciousness. —TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
What is a TM Retreat?
A TM Retreat is a carefully structured program that allows one to enjoy a much deeper experience of one’s TM practice. A typical retreat includes:
Extended practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM)
Maharishi Yoga Asanas and pranayama (a gentle breathing exercise) to help settle the body and mind
Knowledge videos to enhance one’s appreciation of the experience of pure consciousness. Retreats include a special presentation given by an MIU faculty member.
A nourishing and balanced vegetarian diet
Enjoyable walks in nature
Housing in a beautiful private room with private bath, in a sublime natural setting
What are Advanced Techniques?
During TM, we experience Transcendental Consciousness, a unique state of consciousness that dissolves stress, improves brain functioning, and balances body, mind, and behavior. Advanced Techniques help speed up this integration, enriching the results from our TM practice. Each of the four Advanced Techniques developed by Maharishi enhances the experience of pure consciousness, enriches perception, and enables thoughts and actions to become more powerful, creative, and effective.

From my first meditation using the Advanced Technique, I felt I was floating in deeper and deeper levels of peace and bliss. Perceptions are much clearer, with more insight and understanding, more acceptance and love. —M.Z., professional writer, Los Angeles, California.
Ready to dive?
If you’re ready to learn an Advanced Technique and/or participate in a TM Retreat…
Additional information
To be eligible for an Advanced Technique, you must have been practicing TM regularly, twice a day, for the past four months or longer.
Advanced Techniques are learned one at a time. At least two months is required before adding the next Advanced Technique. Each technique is easy to learn and practice, and is taught by a specially trained and experienced certified Advanced Technique Teacher.
If you think you’d like to learn an Advanced Technique on a TM Retreat, you must first attend an Advanced Technique Orientation Day hosted online by an Advanced Technique Course Coordinator.
Orientation days take place online on a weekend, are simple and enjoyable, and offer extended TM practice to give you an opportunity to deepen your experience of pure consciousness, dissolve accumulated stress and fatigue, and better prepare you for the practice of the Advanced Technique. (Please note that those planning to join the retreat and not learn an Advanced Technique may also join an Orientation Day.)
They also present advanced knowledge in videos with Maharishi and Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., M.A.R.R. a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and head of the international TM organizations, on the nature of Advanced Techniques. In these videos, Meditators will learn how Advanced Techniques accelerate personal development and the growth of higher states of consciousness.
It takes approximately two hours to view the videos and answer questions. Extended TM practice on those days is highly recommended. If for some reason you cannot participate in the extended TM practice, you will still need to listen online to the video(s) that prepare you for learning your Advanced Technique.
The cost of each Orientation Day is $60. This is in addition to the cost of the Advanced Technique and TM Retreat (as listed above).
If you have questions about the Orientation Day, Advanced Techniques, and/or the TM Retreat, please…

A journey into the reality of One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness
Join MIU professor Dr. Fred Travis for a deep dive into the reality of 'consciousness is all there is', as detailed by Tony Nader, MD, PhD, MARR, current head of the TM organizations, with fascinating scientific research presented by Dr. Travis on the nature and functioning of our human brain physiology.
“
You’ll return home full of fresh insights and supercharged with an energy that will support you in achieving all your goals in life – whatever they may be. —Dr. Fred Travis
This course will explore consciousness through deep experience of your TM practice (called ‘rounding’), and engaging discussions with Dr. Travis, supported by scientific research and information contained in Dr. Nader’s new book.
“
All that we all are is just different perspectives of infinity on itself. Some are very narrow perspectives; some are very broad perspectives. And when we transcend, we see the full perspective of the original infinite, unbounded pure consciousness. —Dr. Tony Nader

This is an opportunity for you to experience another level of your inner world. Decrease the buzz and increase the silence; decrease the static and increase the signals. Purusha has been culturing a level of inner awareness that allows you the space to shift to a higher level of being. —Enrique Baker, MIU student
