November retreat and advanced technique course in Somogyvámos
19–22 November 2026 — 4 days / 3 nights
The advanced technique, in the autumn quiet of the Somogy hills
If you have been meditating regularly for a while, you know what Transcendental Meditation brings to everyday life. More inner silence, clearer thinking, a steadier mood. The November retreat takes that further, over four days at the Rádhé Resort and Syám Meditation Centre in Somogyvámos.
At this retreat you can also learn the TM advanced technique. The advanced technique is the natural next step in meditation. It makes practice deeper and easier, and helps the silence you find in meditation carry more and more into the rest of the day. It is optional. If you only want to come for the retreat, you are just as welcome.
Group practice multiplies the effect of meditation, so experiences go deeper and the inner calm lasts longer. Accommodation is in apartments, each with towels, a kettle and an electric hob. The Rádhé Resort sits above the Krishna Valley, so there is no need to go down into the valley.
Who is it for?
Everyone who has already completed the TM course, TM meditators and sidhas alike. To learn the advanced technique you need at least four months of continuous, twice-daily practice, and the advanced technique teachers decide on site whether you are ready for it. If you have not learned the technique yet, start with a personal consultation or the TM course.
The opportunity to learn the sidhi technique is expected to open at the end of 2027 or early 2028. All four advanced techniques will be required for it.
Meals and allergies
Meals are served as a buffet, and the hotel labels the dishes that are gluten-free, lactose-free or suit other special diets.
Registration
A HUF 28,000 deposit, paid by bank transfer, reserves your place. The rest is paid on site in cash. That is HUF 100,000 for the retreat, or HUF 200,000 with the advanced technique, because its HUF 100,000 fee is also paid on site.
When you register, say in the comments field whether you want to learn the advanced technique. Single rooms are available only if rooms remain free. Registration and payment details are on the organiser’s page.
The retreat is run in Hungarian.
