RADIATE - the art of inspired teaching

Welcome to our new twice yearly Vedic meditation initiator residencies. Held over 4 months online and culminating in a 7-day in-person retreat these residencies are designed to inspire Vedic meditation initiators in the art of teaching Vedic wisdom while supporting ongoing personal evolution.

As entrepreneurial initiators it’s important we feel creative in our work, have vital energy flowing in our bodies, and belong to a supportive teacher and mentorship community.

Each year the residencies will be held:

February-May (online) + 7-day in-person retreat to conclude

August-November (online) + 7-day in-person retreat to conclude

The need of the time.

Being an initiator is a life-long dharma that not only has the potential to serve humanity in much needed ways but also allows us to create a life we love. Integrated, intentional, and inspired, we can create longevity in our teaching and plant seeds for a legacy of teachers to follow. As Maharishi said, "It is important only that we radiate life. Every individual must be a joy to himself, to his family, and to his society.”

The transformation.

Deepen your embodiment of Vedic wisdom and expand your knowledge base to support your students evolution,

RADIATE #1

Online - January 29th-May 27th, 2025

Retreat - June 5-11, 2025 in Noosa

The theme for this first residency is ‘gaining the full support of Nature’. The purpose is to bring more vitality into our mind-body, practice 'do less, achieve more' in business (so we can focus on what is important), and explore ways we can expand our offerings while nourishing ourselves as teachers.

The first residency will begin on New Moon (Australia time) 29th January, 2025. Each session after this will be held on the Full Moon and New Moon each month. Sessions will also be available to watch online after if you can't attend live.

This residency is open to all Vedic meditation teachers. If you’re keen to join us for the first offering please email for more details!
