Welcome to
Anubhuti Meditation and Retreat Center
Novato, California


In a time when demands are increasingly placed on our lives, Anubhuti Meditation and Retreat Center offers a variety of workshops and weekend retreats for people from all backgrounds to explore, reflect, and nurture the self. Our retreats offer relevant ways for people to explore and understand their own spirituality.

Anubhuti has been created as a special place for reflection, on seven acres of woods and natural vegetation, just adjacent to a wildlife sanctuary. The calm, natural environment complements the retreat center's purpose – to offer the experience of the power of peace and inner silence that belong to the depths of the soul. 

Anubhuti, meaning “to experience,” is located 25 miles north of San Francisco in Marin County.  This meditation and retreat center is operated by the Brahma Kumaris.

The atmosphere is warm, simple, and wholesome. We have nine guest rooms, each with three twin beds and a private bathroom. Three vegetarian meals are served daily. During your free time, relax on one of the patios overlooking the bay in the distance, tuck yourself away in the meditation room, or browse through the bookshop where books and CDs are available to help deepen individual spiritual understanding and meditation. Enjoy self-guided meditation walks on the labyrinth or a group class in hatha yoga or tai chi.

Retreat Into Your Positive Core
January 4 - 6 (Friday to Sunday)

Treat yourself – spend a weekend relaxing, reflecting, journaling, creating and meditating in a serene and beautiful setting.  Participants will be invited to reflect on their inner qualities and values, learn about the effects of positive and pure thoughts on the mind, explore the process of change, and think about how to deepen and enrich their daily life.  There will be time for walks, Tai Chi and creating a visual symbol representative of your “positive core.”  Some meditation instruction will be included.  Raja yoga meditation is a practical, simple, and natural form of meditation. 

The retreat facilitator, Diane Tillman, has been a raja yogi for 26 years and has lectured and conducted personal development workshops in more than 30 countries.

The seminar will include lectures, reflection, discussion, meditation experiences and group activities.
