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
Connecting with Others
It's natural to be kind to those who treat us kindly. However, when someone behaves poorly, we often adjust our attitude and actions in response, waiting for them to change first. This leaves us stuck, with no real growth in ourselves or the other person.
Today, I choose to focus on the positive qualities in others, connecting with them on a deeper level. I will not rely on anyone else's behaviour to determine my own personal growth. Instead, I will embrace the good in each person, allowing it to enrich me with every interaction.
