It begins with an individual’s ability to manage their own mind. Mental wellness is at the root of it all.

For over 40 years, the Art of Living Foundation has been a lifeline for millions, offering simple yet powerful tools to navigate life’s challenges, relieve stress, boost mental wellness and build unshakeable resilience through evidence-based techniques and training. Rooted in ancient wisdom and backed by modern science, our practices help people reconnect with themselves and rediscover their strength from within.

From veterans healing invisible wounds, to healthcare workers facing burnout, to students, teachers, first responders, prison inmates and at-risk youth, we offer tailored programmes that meet people where they are, helping them rise stronger, calmer and more empowered.

Our work: At a glance

Care for Children & Sri Sri University

Every child deserves a future filled with hope, dignity and opportunity. Through value-based education, creative expression and life skills training, we empower vulnerable children - many from impoverished and conflict-affected regions to break free from cycles of hardship.

Sri Sri University furthers this mission by nurturing tomorrow’s leaders with holistic, purpose-driven education that blends ancient wisdom with modern innovation.

Women’s Empowerment

When a woman finds her voice, an entire community transforms. We uplift women from marginalised backgrounds through leadership development, economic training and wellness programmes that foster confidence, resilience and purpose.

Whether it's a young girl gaining access to education or a mother learning a livelihood skill - every empowered woman becomes a pillar of strength for generations to come.

Peacebuilding

Peace begins within, but its impact knows no bounds. In areas torn by violence and unrest, we offer healing tools that dissolve hatred, restore dignity and nurture dialogue.
From former militants to victims of war, we’re building bridges where walls once stood, transforming pain into purpose.

Environmental Care & Sustainability

The earth sustains us, it’s our shared home and sacred inheritance. From large-scale river rejuvenation and native tree planting to sustainable farming and zero-waste villages, we’re restoring balance to ecosystems while educating communities on conscious living. This isn’t just environmental action, it’s a movement rooted in reverence for all life.

Rural Development

In remote villages, hope often lies beyond reach. We’re changing that by empowering rural communities with clean water, solar power, vocational training, education and access to wellness programmes.
By restoring self-reliance, we’re not just meeting needs, we’re igniting local leadership and self-sustaining progress.

Disaster Relief

When disaster strikes, every second matters, and so does every act of compassion. Our global volunteer network mobilises instantly to deliver food, shelter, medical aid and trauma relief to those facing the unimaginable. Beyond emergency response, we stay to help rebuild lives with long-term support.

Prisoner Rehabilitation

Even behind bars, the human spirit longs to heal and grow. Our programmes in prisons and correctional facilities offer inmates and staff powerful tools to release trauma, manage emotions and rediscover inner peace.

By fostering accountability, compassion and clarity, we help break the cycle of violence and reduce recidivism, paving the way for true rehabilitation and reintegration.

Art of Living Centres (UK)

In an increasingly disconnected world, our events across the UK provide sacred spaces for community, connection and personal transformation.

Through evidence-based wellness programmes, breathing techniques and spiritual practices, we help individuals reduce stress, find joy and reconnect with their inner strength.

Global Volunteer Network

At the heart of our movement is a force like no other - our volunteers. More than one million strong in 180 countries, they are teachers, healers and changemakers who devote their lives to service without seeking anything in return.

With over 30,000 trained instructors, this vast grassroots network touches lives daily, from disaster zones to remote villages.
