Wellness Retreats

A Place to Rest, Reconnect, and Reawaken

Discover Our Centre
Tucked away in the heart of the Mauricie region’s pristine forests, the Art of Living Wellness Retreats is more than just a retreat space. It is a sanctuary of serenity, self-discovery, and service. Spread across 300 acres of quiet trails, lakes, and open sky, this is a home for spiritual seekers, wellness explorers, and anyone ready to slow down and return to themselves.

Reflect. Recharge. Reconnect.

Every year, thousands come here to step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse themselves in the practices of meditation, yoga, breathwork, and Ayurveda. Here, in this vast and peaceful natural setting, you’ll find the space to reflect, recharge, and reconnect with what matters most.

Our Mission
The Art of Living Retreat Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to reawaken the human values of compassion, love, togetherness, joy, and harmony in order to realize a true representation of a one-world family—a place that unites people from all walks of life in the spirit of wisdom, celebration, and service to the world. We invite you to rest, recharge, and reconnect with your inner self—a sanctuary where nature’s stillness nurtures the soul and silence becomes a source of joy.
