"The program of these Peace Palaces is a great program - words can never convey the greatness. We only have to get onto producing the effect now. The establishment of the Peace Palaces is for permanent peace on earth for all the future." ~Maharishi, April 2003
“Participate in building Peace Palaces - from every consideration, it is very, very necessary that these Peace Palaces are built overnight without waste of a day or night. Then from that day, we have the world in Heaven.” ~Maharishi, 29 August 2004
"With proper homes for total knowledge, everyone will begin to enjoy life in bliss, and our dear world family will be free for all times from problems, sickness and suffering. So build the Peace Palaces quickly. don't delay."
~Maharishi Global Press Conference, 24 August 2005.
On Oct. 11, 2024, just hours before “Victory Day” the Association for Well-Being Peace and Enlightenment (AWPE) was registered with the Province of Nova Scotia.
The goal for this nonprofit organization is to fulfill one of Maharishi’s dearest wishes and build a Peace Palace as soon as possible. The AWPE will also focus on providing accommodation for the Canadian family of meditators, and create a Peace Village, with options to buy or rent various Maharishi Sthapatya Ved residential units; units designed according to Natural Law.
The AWPE will build a Peace Palace, a centre from which to offer, (under the combined aegis of the Canadian Women's Wellness Foundation and the Global Country of World Peace), the Transcendental Meditation technique and advanced programs, and all the related Maharishi Vedic health and well-being programs, improving the quality of life of all the people of Canada and through them, all the people of the world.
Peace Palaces will create an influence of harmony and peace in the world, and bring the knowledge and experience of the total potential of Natural Law to everyone.
“This is our task this year-a very delightful task-to perpetuate the knowledge that has proven itself to be complete knowledge of the nature of man. The entire divine power in man will now have a permanent home everywhere in every country.” Maharishi, Jan 12, 2004.

Long walks in the natural beauty of the Tatamagouche Centre property
A Transcendental Meditation Retreat is highly recommended to all meditators for the deep rest, knowledge, and meditation experience that it offers. If you are coming for your first residence course you will be astonished at the depth of rest and experience a weekend can offer.
For our in-residence TM Retreats for 2025, we have booked the historic and much- loved Tatamagouche Retreat Centre https://tatacentre.ca/ which overlooks Tatamagouche Bay that joins the French River (beside the Centre) and the Waughs River (other side of Tatamagouche town). Tatamagouche Centre is located on the sacred gathering place used for thousands of years by the M’ikmaq.
