I am excited to teach a two-part introduction to Ayurveda to a small group at my home in Conway this September!
Ayurveda is an approach to living that helps to cultivate radiant well-being of body, mind, and spirit.
The aspects I am wanting to share include the mythology around Ayurveda, the Samkhya cosmology in which it is rooted, the Ayurvedic understanding of health and healing, the different constitutions, Ayurvedic lifestyle guidelines, daily and seasonal routines, recommendations around diet and food sadhanas, the relationship between sexuality and well-being, and an introduction to seasonal cleansing. And also I'd like to weave in whatever topics are of particular interest to the group!
I am imagining this could lead up to an optional group fall kitchari cleanse in October.
I am thinking to include Sanskrit chanting, sharing Ayurvedic drinks and food, discussion, reflection, a self-assessment of our health and how imbalance tends to manifest in each of us, an exploration of how we can bring ourselves into a more optimal state of health.
Maybe also some spell-work, dawn walking, skinny dipping in the river, yoga, fire making, and cooking- because so much of Ayurveda is about embodied magic, and living in joyful and ecstatic relationship with the natural world.
We will gather at my home in Conway, where there is a wood burning stove and fire pit, and where we can swim in the South River. The group size will be limited so we can go deep together!
This offering will be offered for free, as part of my vision of growing a local gift economy. Barters and exchanges are also very welcome, for those who have an offering you would like to share, as are small donations for supplies.
NOTE: This offering is now full. Please reach out to be added to the wait list. Also, reach out if you would be interested in a 10-day fall group kitchari cleanse. in October.
