A Rest & Relaxation Retreat at the Art of Living Retreat Center is a customizable combination of meditation, yoga, outdoor activities, and so much more. Whether you come on a solo retreat or with a partner, you’ll discover our peaceful campus, nourishing food, Ayurveda treatments and therapies, and opportunities to reconnect with your true self—or do nothing at all.

Other R&R offerings beyond yoga and meditation include Wellness Workshop, Ayurvedic Immersive Experience, The Art of Authentic Movement, Meditative Chants/Kirtan and Bonfires, weather permitting. In addition to our daily R&R schedule, we have miles of hiking trails, a labyrinth, a Fitness Room, a Steam Room, and add-on activities such as Ayurvedic healing arts treatments and time in our Clay Studio.

Our Shankara Ayurveda Wellness Spa is a premier destination for holistic wellness and rated one of the best by many national publications, including Organic Spa, SpaFinder, and more. More than just a spa, this is Ayurvedic healing at its very best. Choose from the widest selection of award-winning Ayurvedic treatments in the US for whole-body nourishment and renewal.

Getaways begin at just $670 per person on weekdays and $720 per person on weekends; based on room selection, 2-night minimum. Note: Guests are restricted to Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as arrival dates, and must depart by Sunday. There is a minimum of a two-night stay. Arrivals may occur on ANY Wednesday, Thursday or Friday; we are limited by this calendaring platform as to how many listings we can have, thus we’re just showing a single start date in any given month.

The Art of Living Retreat Center, which sits atop a mountain in Boone, NC amidst 380 acres of pristine forest, offers a range of accommodations from a shared retreat room to a one-bedroom apartment.
