Three new ways to experience Maharishi Vedic City

Daily Orientation
Drop by the Visitors Center at the Raj between 9:30 and 4:30 any day of the week to pick up maps, brochures, and a self-tour guide to Maharishi Vedic City and Maharishi University of Management, with an informative overview about living and learning in harmony with Natural Law. A special brief videotape orientation by the Mayor, Dr. Robert Wynne, will get you started. Free.

  • Begin your tour at The Raj Health Center with orientation, overview and a welcome.

First Friday Art Walk
Fairfield isn’t Santa Fe or Sausalito—but you’d never know it from the outstanding quality of the artwork. The first Friday of every month is the Fairfield Art Walk, starting at 6:30 p.m. Stroll the picturesque Fairfield Town Square where art studios and businesses open their doors to display the incredible creativity of local and nationally renowned artists and photographers. Meet and talk with the artists! Buy original paintings, ceramics, and photographs.

Best Bet — Tour and Art Walk Combo - the first Friday of each month

  • After dinner, join the Friday Art Walk, which starts at 6:30 p.m.
