Which of Andrew's retreats should I take first?

If you want to learn techniques you can keep using at home, start with the Breathwork and Meditation Retreat; it is built around the two practices Andrew has taught for over 17 years. If you want a shorter three-day stay, the Happiness Retreat is the lighter commitment. Both are residential and taught by Andrew.

What these retreats are

Andrew Keaveney's retreats are residential programs at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, North Carolina. Residential means you stay overnight for the whole retreat rather than dropping in for a class, which gives you several uninterrupted days of practice. Andrew teaches breathwork and meditation together, drawing on four years of studying yoga, meditation and Sanskrit at an ashram in India and over 17 years of teaching in the U.S. and India.

The schedule, lodging, meals and price for each program are set by the center and listed on the Art of Living Retreat Center website.

Why the setting matters

Boone sits in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northwestern North Carolina. Andrew's photographs from the area show morning clouds in the valleys, waterfalls and autumn color, the kind of surroundings that make it easier to leave the phone in the room. Visiting in early November means cool mornings, so pack layers.
