Jan 14 Breathwork & Meditation Retreat

This Breathwork & Meditation Retreat is a four-day program at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, North Carolina, set in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is led by Art of Living faculty and pairs breathwork with personalized mantra-based meditation. It suits anyone who wants a clearer mind, steadier focus and more emotional balance, and who would like to learn both practices in one focused stay.

What to Expect

The retreat runs for four days and is part of the Center's Signature series of programs. Its heart is the combination of two practices. Breathwork gives you a direct way to shift your energy and settle the nervous system. Mantra-based meditation, personalized to you, gives the mind something steady to rest on. Together they are meant to support mental clarity, sharper focus and emotional well-being.

The Center describes the pairing as a synergy: the breath prepares the ground, and the meditation carries you deeper into stillness. You leave with practices you can continue at home, not only an experience of the retreat itself.

Your Guides

The retreat is taught by Art of Living faculty, the teachers who lead the Center's Signature programs, including its Happiness Retreat and its silence retreats. Individual teachers for this particular session are not named.

The Setting

The Art of Living Retreat Center sits in the mountains outside Boone, in the western part of North Carolina. The Center describes the Blue Ridge Mountains as a quiet embrace, and the surroundings suit a program built around turning inward. The Center also offers meditation, yoga, Ayurveda treatments and therapies, and indoor and outdoor activities across its wider programming, so the grounds are set up for a full stay of rest and practice.

Before You Go

Nothing in the program's description asks for prior experience, so the retreat is open to people new to breathwork and meditation as well as to those who already practice. If you have questions about accommodation, what to bring or how to plan your travel to Boone, the Center's team can help before you arrive.
