EUROPEAN WORLD PEACE ASSEMBLY (WPA)
12 September - 4 October

The tradition of WPA’s on the beautiful island of Hvar started in 2002, near the oldest Croatian city, Stari Grad, founded 2500 years ago by ancient Greeks. The Greeks called it Faros, which means “light”. These WPA’s attracted hundreds of course participants, year after year, and we were delighted to revive this tradition again in 2012 with the European Young Meditators' Conference and many interesting courses on topics like AyurVeda, Brahma Sutras, Culture, Consciousness and Natural Law.

Come and enjoy deep knowledge and experiences, historic lectures by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, beautiful nature, crystal clear sea (still warm for swimming!), delicious food and blissful company of like-minded people from many different countries. Accommodation is in modern villas with proper orientation and the scenic environment of Vrboska – a peaceful small town situated on the north side of the Island Hvar.

You can attend the WPA for one week, two weeks or three weeks. Choose and Register Now. For further details on the costs of the WPA, the payment conditions and our cancellation policy click here, or see below.
