Welcome
Since 1993, the Global Retreat Centre near Oxford has welcomed thousands of people from across the world. The Centre offers residential and one-day retreats, as well as lectures, seminars and courses on meditation, personal growth and spiritual development.
It is administered by the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University UK – a registered charity since 1975. Around the world the Brahma Kumaris work in local communities in more than 120 countries, teaching Raja Yoga Meditation as a way of life to experience peace of mind and a positive approach to life. Locally, our services are offered via an extensive network of professional trained volunteers, right in the heart of communities.

Thought for Today
Return To The Source
The essence of a tree after it has let go of its leaves, flowers, branches, trunk and roots is the seed.
Similarly, the essence of consciousness is a thought, the essence of love respect, the essence of happiness contentment and the essence of abundance simplicity.
Many essences form the foundation of power, but, above all, it is the essence of one positive thought in one second that helps us quickly to empower the self.
