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
Mastering the Art of Connection
Success in life often hinges on our ability to connect with others. We commonly find ourselves adjusting our attitudes and responses based on someone else's behaviour, usually waiting for them to change first.
However, mastering the art of connection means recognizing and valuing others' unique qualities. When we do this, our success doesn't depend on their behaviour. Instead, we learn to see and embrace the positive aspects of each individual, enriching ourselves with every interaction. This approach not only fosters personal growth but also builds meaningful connections.
