Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just two hours northeast of Asheville, the Art of Living Retreat Center sits on 380 acres of pristine forest — a world unto itself, waiting to welcome you.
The moment you arrive, something shifts. Maybe it’s the mountain air. Maybe it’s the stillness. Whatever it is, you’ll feel it — and that’s exactly the point. Here, your days are shaped by nourishing vegetarian meals, ancient practices, and the kind of quiet that actually lets you hear yourself think.
The award-winning Shankara Ayurveda Wellness Spa offers therapeutic Ayurvedic treatments crafted to melt tension and restore your natural rhythm—so you can stop performing wellness and actually feel it.

Your journey to well-being begins here. We can’t wait to share it with you.
