Gratitude for 2023
Dear friends,
I want to extend my deepest appreciation for your ongoing support. Your generosity has been a cornerstone in our journey, enabling us to offer transformative experiences to over 15,000 participants annually. You empower us to continue our mission of wellness and personal growth.
Our Commitment to Excellence
The Art of Living Retreat Center has always strived for excellence, a commitment recognized by awards like USA Today’s recognition of the center as one of the Top 3 Wellness Destinations in the United States for the last seven years. Many well-known publications and media channels such as Reader’s Digest, NBC, Travel+Leisure, Evening Standard, Afar, and Success have consistently rated AOLRC as one of the top retreat destinations in the world. These accolades are not just ours but shared with every individual who has supported us along the way.
Current and Future Initiatives
With your support, we have been able to accomplish the following renovation projects and upgrades to the property over the last year:
- Paving of the road along Rock Cliff from Dining Hall to Spa and along Whispering Hills Road and lines marked on the road.
- Floatation tank installation.
- 52 retreat rooms converted to hotel-style rooms.
- Installing RFID locks on all guest rooms on campus.

As we look forward, we are excited to embark on several capital projects that promise to enhance our retreat center significantly. Below are a few of these special projects, along with the funds needed to implement those projects.
- Renovating the Euphrates Building—which was struck by lightning—for guest lodging. ($1.5M)
- Creating a serene nature trail for walking, meditation, and contemplation. ($250,000)
- Developing comfortable outdoor seating spaces for community building and relaxation. ($50,000)
- Installing new Dining Hall windows to replace older, considerably degraded ones. ($150,000)
- Implementing new boilers in our lodging buildings to replace aging and non-functioning furnaces. ($120,000)
- Launching a renewable energy project with solar panels, reaffirming our commitment to sustainability. ($75,000)
These projects are not just new initiatives—they are steps towards transforming the Art of Living Retreat Center into a sanctuary where individuals can find peace, healing, and a sense of community.
Your Role in this Transformation
To bring these projects to fruition, we rely on the generosity of our supporters. Your contribution is a direct investment in the physical and spiritual well-being of thousands who seek refuge and renewal at our Center. We hope to raise $1,000,000 by December 31, 2023, and I am thrilled you’re considering donating to this cause.
