Radiate Residency.

Support for the teacher. Regeneration for the whole.

Welcome to our regenerative support system for decentralised Vedic meditation teachers. Rooted in Maharishi’s wisdom and the Shankaracharya lineage, these residencies hold and nourish teachers who have been deeply trained, but may feel isolated, overwhelmed, or just need some love as they serve in community. Together we’re creating a mycelium network of belonging where we grow, evolve, rest, create, and stay in deep service without burning out. Ultimately regenerating the teaching ecosystem to benefit the entire meditation community.

Each year the residencies will be held:

Feb-April = online mentoring residency

June = 9-day in-person retreat (location changed each year to move around the world - Australia (2025), Asia (2026), Europe, Americas

August-October = online mentoring residency

December = Panchakarma in India (optional to join for as long as you need)

The need of the time.

Being an initiator is a life-long dharma that not only has the potential to serve humanity in much needed ways but also allows us to create a life we love. Integrated, intentional, and inspired, we can create longevity in our teaching and plant seeds for a legacy of teachers to follow. As Maharishi said, "It is important only that we radiate life. Every individual must be a joy to himself, to his family, and to his society.”

The transformation available.

Deepen your embodiment of Vedic wisdom and expand your knowledge base to support your students’ evolution,

  • Each residency includes twice monthly guest lectures with Vedic science experts.

Rest, rejuvenate, and connect in-person on the RADIATE annual retreat.

RADIATE Annual Retreat - 2026

Retreat - TBC June, 2026 in Bali

The intention for this retreat is for teachers to bathe in deep rest through daily high-rounds and siddhi rounds, to spend time together in-person to weave deeper connections and provide space for collaboration on future projects, and to engage in daily yajña with Pandit Baskaran to enliven the support of the laws of nature, learn new mantras, and continue to grow deep roots within the Vedic tradition. It is a powerful opportunity each year to receive the blessings that come from yajña, to sit with Panditji, and to deepen your intellectual and experiential knowledge of mantra, yajña, and devatā.

When teachers are well rested and resourced it benefits all meditators and society as a whole. This retreat is a refresh, reconnection, and reinspiration for the next 12 months.
