The Art of Living Foundation
The Art of Living Foundation is dedicated to serving society by strengthening the individual. We do this by offering
programs that eliminate stress, create a sense of belonging, restore human values, and encourage people from all
backgrounds, religions and cultural traditions to come together in celebration and service.
As a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), The Art of Living Foundation works
in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of
the United Nations, participating in a variety of committees and activities relating to
health and conflict resolution. We also conduct a number of educational programs
and in partnership with the International Association for Human Values (IAHV), we
carry on various humanitarian service projects that:
Uplift the Individual
Friendliness, compassion, love and caring – these human values are part of us, yet
most of the time they are covered by a veil of stress. A disease-free body and a
stress-free mind are the birthrights of every human being, yet we have never been
taught how to handle our negative emotions. The Art of Living Foundation offers
simple and effective techniques that alleviate the effects of stress and increase joy and
enthusiasm in daily life.
Make a Difference in the Community
Serving others is an expression of joy, an expression of love; through service to
humanity we can expand our individual boundaries. When we focus on how we can
be useful to the people around us and to the whole world, our hearts blossom and a
new dimension opens within us. Volunteer projects are integral to the Art of Living.
The Foundation emphasizes social responsibility and inspires individuals to give back
to their communities.
Foster Global Change
Today there is a great need for all of us to move from limited identifications of nationality, race, religion and culture to a broader understanding of the unity of
human life, which can help to bring about a more peaceful world. The founder of the
Art of Living Foundation, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, travels the world
addressing various forums to foster human values and spread a message of unity
among all traditions.
