Welcome to the Art of Living Retreat Center
Where Health Meets Happiness
For over a decade, the Art of Living Retreat Center has been introducing the transformative practices of meditation, mindfulness, Ayurveda, and yoga to guests at our beautiful campus in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, North Carolina.
From inspiring programming to relaxing retreats to holistic spa treatments and therapies to nourishing vegetarian cuisine, our peaceful campus provides a sanctuary to go within, get into nature, and indulge in self-care practices that calm the mind, rejuvenate the body, and soothe the soul.
Signature Meditation Retreats
Anyone can learn to meditate! Once practiced, the effects can be felt surprisingly quickly—perhaps with peace of mind, the ability to let go of the past, or more ease in difficult situations.
To be in the present moment, with a centered state of mind, is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and those around you.

Create your daily routine.
Dinacharya, an essential component of Ayurvedic tradition, embodies the art of daily self-care. It encompasses a series of cleansing and rejuvenating practices designed to rid the body of accumulated toxins, fostering harmony within our entire system. This consistent ritual not only regulates our body clock and aids digestion but also alleviates the burden of decision-making, sparing our minds from ‘decision fatigue.’ Thus, by embracing Dinacharya, we embrace a path to holistic well-being and mental clarity.
