A Week to Dissolve Into Silence

Join us for seven luminous days devoted to resting as awareness. Each session we settle into guided meditation, meet the moment through pointed talks, and open the floor to live Q&A with Angelo so that every insight can be integrated on the spot.

Expect plenty of silent sits, poetry sharing, and a supportive community that honors both depth and play. The retreat cadence is intentionally spacious so you can wander the ridgelines, journal, or simply breathe.

About the Art of Living Retreat Center

Perched across 380 acres of forested Blue Ridge slopes, the center is a sanctuary purpose-built for deep practice. Wake up to sweeping mountain views, nourish with chef-crafted vegetarian meals, and unwind with Ayurvedic spa offerings, hiking trails, yoga, and meditation spaces.

Rooms are selected during checkout, and on-campus shuttles keep you connected to every hall and trail without breaking the contemplative flow.
