Peace Village is a Western spiritual center with roots in India. In the years since its opening in the spring of 1999, Peace Village has hosted thousands of guests for residential retreats and programs.  All are welcome – those who are new to meditation as well as those who are accomplished spiritual practitioners. 

Peace Village is owned and operated by the Brahma Kumaris (www.bkwsu.org/us).  The work of the Brahma Kumaris is inspired by the vision of a world where every individual can develop to his or her own full potential as a human and spiritual being, and live in harmony with others and with the natural world.  They teach a practical method of meditation (Raja Yoga) that helps individuals achieve peace of mind, develop their full personal potential, and interact with others in a constructive and fulfilling way.
