ASSEMBLY FOR ALL TM TEACHERS IN UK
8 – 13 November
All TM Teachers in the UK are warmly invited to attend this special assembly at the Maharishi Peace Palace at Rendlesham. This opportunity is open to all TM Teachers who are currently active in teaching TM and also to those who have not yet certified for teaching but would like to do so.
The Assembly is five full days duration. That means starting on the evening of the first day, staying for five nights, and leaving in the afternoon of the final day.
In order to provide a special reward for TM Teachers, some sponsorship has been made available and this assembly will be provided at half price. TM Teachers are encouraged to apply now to reserve their place.
For those TM Teachers who have not been teaching TM recent years, and are not yet certified, there will also be an opportunity during these five days to complete the certification process and to start teaching again. This will involve special preparation for the course and some special sessions during the course. Please apply for the TM Teachers Certification Course on this website, and also send an email to megan.farmer@tm.org in order to hear about the special requirements. Raja Peter will meet online with all those who would like to attend the course in order to certify.
You will not be charged until you have confirmed your choices.
SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE ASSEMBLY
Maharishi AyurVeda Consultations
We are very pleased to welcome Dr Shital to the Peace Palace. Dr Shital is a highly qualified and very experienced Ayurvedic practitioner, having received her B.A.M.S., and higher MD qualification in Dravyaguna, from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences. Dravyaguna deals with the study of herbs, their origin, nature, properties, and effects upon human beings. It is a complete science of herbal plants.
Dr Shital is also experienced in Nadi Vigyan, the Ayurvedic science of pulse diagnosis, an element of Ayurveda precious to Maharishi in his revival of Ayurveda.
Dr Geoffrey Mead, who will accompany Dr Shital, is a long-term medical doctor and Maharishi AyurVeda Practitioner. He is also a trustee of Maharishi AyurVeda Institute in the UK.
Please note that the cost of Maharishi AyurVeda Consultations will be included in the Assembly Fee.

Travel Directions
TRAVEL BY CAR
Set your course for relaxation by entering IP12 2GX into your SATNAV, Apple Maps, or Google Maps. As you approach the Peace Palace, you'll find our designated parking area right behind the building. Just a friendly reminder, the kerbs are a bit high, so take your time while parking. For quick stops, we have two spaces at the front for unloading or pick-up only.
TRAVEL BY TRAIN
Enjoy a scenic train ride just over an hour and a half from London Liverpool Street Station. Hop on the Norwich train and alight at Ipswich, where you'll switch to the Lowestoft Line heading to Melton. To ensure your journey is smooth and seamless, be sure to book your ticket through to Melton Suffolk (avoid Melton Mowbray!).
TAXI FROM MELTON TO RENDLESHAM
Once you arrive at Melton, a short taxi ride will bring you to our serene sanctuary. Since taxis are based in nearby Woodbridge, it's a good idea to book in advance, especially on Friday afternoons when arrival times can coincide with the School Run. We recommend M&R Cars (01394 386661) and CarsSmart (01394 461 461). Most taxis accept credit cards, but there are exceptions so it's handy to have some cash in Pounds Sterling just in case. We apologise, but the Peace Palace does not have the ability to collect Retreat/Course participants from the station or arrange taxi bookings on your behalf.
TRAVEL BY AIR
Flying in from afar? Three choices for your souring start to serenity.
STANSTED AIRPORT
Your closest gateway to peace. From there, you can enjoy a direct taxi ride (around £120-160), whisking you straight to our doorstep. Alternatively, you can take a coach to Ipswich (about £20) followed by a taxi to Rendlesham (about £30).
FLYING INTO LONDON HEATHROW OR GATWICK? NO PROBLEM!
- From Heathrow Airport, embark on the London Underground's Elizabeth Line to reach London Liverpool Street Station. Prefer the train? Catch one to London Paddington, then hop on the Underground to Liverpool Street. Both routes offer a seamless transition to your peaceful retreat.
- From Gatwick Airport, catch a train to London Victoria, then choose between the Underground or a taxi to whisk you to London Liverpool Street Station. From there, your peaceful journey to the Peace Palace is just a train ride away.
We can't wait to welcome you to our haven of relaxation and rejuvenation. Safe travels and see you soon at the Peace Palace!
