Nestled in dense forest with clear streams and rivers, our deeply peaceful 400-acre property in the Catskill Mountains has been home to Transcendental Meditation® programs for nearly five decades. Experience the cumulative coherence created by thousands of Advanced Courses, alongside the purest drinking water sourced from the mountain.

Our grand Vastu building, Ojas Mandir, inaugurated in March 2026, marks the dawn of an inspiring new era for the Mother Divine Program℠ and for women and girls worldwide. Designed to accommodate Mother Divine residents, this majestic building also features 12 special guest suites, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the exquisite bliss of Vastu living and experience the clarity of group dynamics of consciousness.

Our long-standing facility, Laxmi Manor, has also been beautifully renovated, expanding our capacity to offer even more courses.

MAHARISHI VASTU® INFLUENCE

Our facility features elements of Maharishi Vastu® design, which bring an auspicious influence (better health, wealth and happiness as well as greater attunement with Natural Law) to those who reside in the building. To read more about this ancient knowledge of Vedic Architecture, please visit www.maharishivastu.org.

Our comfortable single rooms, each with a private bath and many with long-range mountain views, are ideal for weekend or week-long courses. The course experience includes fresh, organic vegetarian meals, enriching knowledge meetings, and valuable guided instruction. Here, women benefit greatly from connecting with senior Mother Divine leaders, gaining profound insight into their meditation experiences through these inspiring conversations.

From spring’s vibrant blooms to summer days on the lake, from autumn’s golden charm to winter’s snowy stillness, with trails through the woods and sunrise by the water —  the Global Women’s Center for Peace and Enlightenment, home of the Mother Divine Program in North America, is a true home away from home — delivering a deeply nourishing experience that stays with you long after you leave.
