Every year, Maharishi observed several days of silence, which he devoted to planning the coming year. This retreat lasted from December 30 to January 7. At the end, he was brimming with vibrant energy, and he prepared the inaugural celebration of the year on January 12. One of the activities of this celebration was to express the desire or goal that would be realized during the year.

This tradition is part of the activities of the Transcendental Meditation Movement, and these days of silence are celebrated all over the world. The attitude of going inward rather than outward is what predominates during this time. And this translates into what is called in some places the Winter Assembly.

We are pleased to offer the opportunity to experience these dates, to turn inward rather than outward, and to immerse yourself in Pure Consciousness, with greater intensity and well-being than we do every day during the year. 

Come and participate in these days at the Maharishi Continental Capital, a Vastu building in Extrema, surrounded by enchanting nature, 1.5 hours from Guarulhos International Airport, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
