When the world feels uncertain, the heart longs for connection. In times of division and overwhelm, we find refuge in wisdom, community, and love.

Experience the replays of our August 14–17 retreat from the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, North Carolina—a transformative gathering designed to reconnect you with yourself, others, and the greater whole. Each day explored the theme “Intimacy With All Things”—offering teachings on cultivating deep relationships with ourselves, our communities, and the world around us.

Important Deets

Originally streamed live from our Summer retreat in NC with replay opportunities + online community, you will dive into:

  • Chanting and workshops with Krishna Das and his band
  • Buddhist teachings, Dharma talks and practice time with Dr. Robert Thurman, Acharya Shunya, David Nichtern and Krishna Das
  • Explorations of the Ramayana and Hanuman Chalisa with Nina Rao
  • A live Mindrolling podcast with Raghu Markus
  • East Forest Ceremony with Ram Dass Meditations and Teachings
  • And Ram Dass audio teachings that weave Ram Dass’s legacy and teachings into our retreat experience even though his physical body is no longer with us.

This virtual retreat promises 15 hours of high quality video session replays over four days, and for those of you who did not make it to Boone this year, this is a great opportunity to participate in the community and immerse yourself in the same teachings as the in-person attendees.

PLUS: When you sign up, you will have access to our new Inner Academy community on Mighty Networks – where you can connect with other virtual retreat attendees, make friends, and share your experiences around the teachings.

“If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That’s the entrance to Oneness.” - Ram Dass
