Transmute the Old. Awaken the Light Within.

What if your pain wasn’t just something to heal—but something to alchemize? In this five-day immersive mystery school with psycho-spiritual teacher and Akashic channeler Eluña Noelle, you’ll enter a sacred container for deep transformation. Blending esoteric teachings, ancient story, psychic skill-building, and embodied practices, this retreat guides you in releasing inherited wounding, outdated beliefs, and energy that no longer serves—so you can activate your truest self and live from your sacred heart. Come curious. Leave changed.

To support your experience, please bring an eye mask, a journal and pen, and one meaningful item to place on the community altar (optional).

Transforming Lives

quotes
—Natasha S.
Experiencing the energy in the room is worth it. The material that emerges and the attunements are exquisitely powerful and transformative. These workshops have brought this material to life for me in such a dynamic way so that the teachings have penetrated deeply into my being and my daily life.
—Bill H.
Paul likes to describe himself as “just the guy who sits in the chair,” but his finely-tuned abilities enable transmission of the highest level of teachings I’ve heard, and his kindness and compassion provide a safe, loving space for participants to fully receive the Guides’ wisdom. 
—Austin T.
In my 25 years, I find this without a doubt to be the most humbling, liberating, and life-changing experience, one that I will hold dear to my heart forever. This will always be remembered as both, my favorite weekend of my life, and the one that helped me realize all that we are in Truth.
—Jeanette B.
Attending this workshop was truly amazing! What really stood out for me is the gift Paul himself brings to this. He is honest, vulnerable, and just straight up REAL! Words limit the shift I am feeling—It is a gift beyond anything I can accurately express. Thank you so so much!
—Vickie L.
Words seem inadequate to describe but I will say that the Paul was spectacular in presentation, demeanor, delivery and energetic communication. Tranformational! Great accommodations! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

We are here to help.

For room reservations, Ayurveda Wellness Retreats, and Art of Living Retreat Center (AOLRC) signature retreats, we have the following cancellation policy:

  • Refunds are available (less a $50/per person processing fee) up to 15 days before your program or stay.
  • Nonrefundable credit toward a future AOLRC program or stay (less a $50/per person processing fee) is available if you give notice between 14 and one day(s) before your program or stay. Credit may be applied to any AOLRC program or stay for one year following date of issue.
  • No credit or refund is available if you cancel on the arrival day, if you do not show up, or if you leave an event early for any reason. No refund will be available if you attend a program and are dissatisfied with its presentation or content.

AOLRC reserves the right to cancel a program at any time. If AOLRC cancels a program, you will receive a full refund. Some programs may have special cancellation policies; see individual workshop descriptions. For all other retreats, please be sure to check the registration page specific to that retreat.

Unless otherwise indicated, our programs are open to participants 18 years of age and older.

To encourage a healthy environment we ask that guests not consume alcohol or meat in our public spaces, however, guests may enjoy these items in their rooms.

Our property is always smoke-free.

Yes, we ask that guests with food allergies simply inform us so we can communicate those needs to our chef. Typically, we label potential allergens such as gluten, dairy, and nuts.

Thanks to the cool climate of the Blue Ridge Mountains, air conditioning is rarely needed. For the occasional warm day, there is a fan in each room to help keep you comfortable.

We do have lodging and event venues that are ADA-compliant. Due to the topography of our mountain campus, some are easier to access than others, so please speak to Guest Services (800.392.6870) prior to registering to ensure we can best accommodate your needs. We also have shuttles that run frequently throughout the campus.

We are committed to the safety of our guests and staff. Our mountaintop location and the surrounding areas are spacious, remote, safe, and secure.

  • It is safe to leave your windows open—and necessary for proper airflow!
  • Nature surrounds our campus, and it’s common to see rabbits, deer, gophers, wild turkeys, and other small animals. Please give them space, and they’ll do the same for you. We’ve never had a safety incident with animals on campus.

You can help!

  • If you come across an animal on campus or a trail, give it space, and please do not attempt to pet or feed it.
  • There’s no need to bring valuables to the retreat center; leaving them at home is best.
