At the Art of Living Retreat Center, every meal blends global flavors with Ayurvedic wisdom. Our vegetarian dishes—from local Boone harvests to the spices of Mumbai and the Caribbean—nourish balance and vitality, using fresh, sun-grown ingredients infused with nature’s life force.
The Art of Living Retreat Center’s Ayurvedic-inspired, vegetarian menu promotes harmony and sustainability. Featuring fresh, organic, locally sourced ingredients, it avoids processed foods, onion, and garlic, while offering vegan and allergen-friendly options to suit diverse dietary needs.
The Purna Dining Hall offers palate-pleasing, healthful cuisine is complemented by sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Some of our most raved-about guest experiences take place right here.
