More about the course

Argiro Student Center with Vedic Observatory

MIU’s winter and summer World Peace Assemblies have been highights of the year for everyone involved — participants, presenters, and organizers alike.

If you’ve participated in these gatherings, you know how rich the experience in the Golden Domes can be with a larger group of Yogic Flyers rounding together. Participants have reported beautiful experiences of growth of consciousness.

And the afternoon and evening meetings are incredibly rich, with knowledge, news, experience discussions, and much more.

And throughout the two weeks, we are infusing extra peace and harmony into world consciousness from the deepest level of natural law — from within our own Self.
