Do you want to unlock new levels of calm and energy for life?

Experience the synergy of two transformative practices in one comprehensive course. Discover Sudarshan Kriya™ (SKY Breath Meditation) from the Happiness Retreat, and delve into the profound impact of a personal mantra—a charged sound designed to enhance your meditation practice, as introduced in our Meditation Retreat.

SKY Breath Meditation is a practice recognized for its ability to alleviate stress and anxiety, yielding noticeable results within a week. It not only facilitates the release of the past but also elevates your state of awareness and relaxation, offering you a reliable and repeatable tool. Building on this foundation, Sahaj Samadhi Meditation further refines your experiences of profound rest and heightened awareness, liberating your mind from everyday concerns.

Together, these practices create a compounding effect, accelerating your journey towards tranquility. Ultimately, you emerge with a comprehensive toolkit of breathwork and meditation, each element mutually enhancing the other for a transformative and enduring impact.

Held every two weeks, the Breathwork & Meditation Retreat also includes morning yoga and three healthy, vegetarian, buffet-style meals per day. For extra fees, you may attend cooking classes and demos, pottery classes, or enjoy Ayurvedic wellness treatments.

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.
