Give the Gift of a Stress-Free, Violence-Free Society to all
Since 1981 the Art of Living has worked diligently to give millions of people from all walks of life tools to relieve stress, bolster mental health, and build resilience through evidence-based techniques and training.
Founded by world-renowned humanitarian and spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Art of Living’s core value is to find peace within oneself and to unite people in our society – of different cultures, religions and nationalities, reminding us that we have one goal; to uplift human life everywhere.
We believe that a stress-free, violence-free society begins with each individual, and with your support, the Art of Living can offer services that change lives and powerful tools backed by science to help individuals and communities flourish.
Together we can make a difference.
