Description
We are the Brahma Kumaris and we invite you to spend time with us at Peace Village Learning & Retreat Center. Join us for weekend residential retreats, workshops, or weekly classes in spiritual awareness, meditation, and the practical application of spirituality.

Peace Village is a place where relaxation comes easily. People come here to learn new things about themselves, to enjoy silence and solitude, and to find peace of mind. It's also a place to meet others who are interested in integrating a spiritual dimension into their lives. As one retreat guest remarked: "Peace Village is the spa for the soul!"

The beautiful 300 acre campus reflects and respects all that is good about the mountains of upstate New York - fresh air, quiet, close to nature. Stay comfortable and safe in this nurturing and spiritual atmosphere.

Peace Village is staffed by volunteers who have benefited from the spiritual insights and practices offered by the Brahma Kumaris and therefore give their time freely and happily.
All our retreats, workshops, and courses are run by experienced facilitators who have years of experience as Raja Yoga practitioners and teachers. Many also hold various professional qualifications and are very aware of the dynamics of bringing spirituality into everyday life.

Retreats at Peace Village have two key components. They are:

1. Examination of some of the deeper truths about human nature. We work with the understanding that there is an energy of goodness within us, and that this increases or decreases according to our habits of thought and feeling. Knowing more about our selves, and how we function, gives us the power to think and act more positively.

2. Periods of silence in which to reflect on our higher feelings, values, and purpose in life. Peace of mind, intrinsic to all of us but easily lost when we become trapped in mundane concerns, is restored. This experience helps connect us to an unchanging and infinite source of love and truth.

The aim is to enable participants to recharge their own sense of well-being, and learn how to maintain this strength in everyday life. Lectures, workshops, pure vegetarian food, the beautiful grounds, and a peaceful atmosphere all contribute to the process.
