# Event Details - **Event Name**: Living Ayurveda: Health, Consciousness & the Intelligence of the Body (Brisbane) - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 12:30 am – Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 01:30 am (+10:00) - **Event Description**: It is not often that an Ayurvedic doctor from India, carrying a living family lineage of traditional physicians, visits Brisbane. On this special morning at BIYOME (the BioMedical Institute of Yoga & Meditation), Celia Roberts will host an open conversation exploring the wisdom of Ayurveda and its relationship to health, consciousness, and the intelligence of the body. Joining Celia will be Vaidya Dr Harsha Raju, a traditional Ayurvedic physician from a renowned South Indian family lineage of doctors whose medical tradition extends for generations, preserving specialised therapeutic knowledge rarely encountered outside India. Dylan Smith, founder of Vital Veda and an Ayurvedic practitioner trained within this lineage, will also join the conversation, bringing perspectives on how these teachings translate into everyday life and contemporary practice. Rather than approaching these ideas purely as theory, the dialogue will help illuminate how Ayurvedic knowledge can be recognised within our own lived experience. Through the different perspectives of Celia, Dr Harsha, and Dylan, the conversation will help simplify and make accessible aspects of this ancient science that are often difficult to grasp when encountered only through books or intellectual study. Participants will leave with a clearer sense of how Ayurveda understands the body not simply as a biological mechanism, but as an intelligent and responsive system deeply connected with consciousness, nature, and the rhythms of life. This two-hour gathering offers an introductory doorway into these traditions, allowing participants to encounter the knowledge directly and gain a felt sense of how Ayurveda relates to yoga, awareness, and the deeper intelligence guiding health. Whether you are new to Ayurveda or already exploring yoga, meditation, or natural approaches to health, this morning session offers a welcoming and thoughtful introduction to a remarkable body of knowledge. All are welcome. PS. For those wishing to continue the exploration, a half-day workshop will take place the following day, offering a more spacious setting to further unpack the connections between Ayurveda, yoga, and Jyotisha (Vedic astrology). While this morning session stands complete in itself, the workshop provides an opportunity to deepen and expand upon the insights introduced here. Dr Harsha Raju will also be offering a limited number of private 1-on-1 Ayurveda and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) consultations as well as the famous Banana Purification, in Brisbane on Monday May 25th. 🎟 Register here: https://events.humanitix.com/living-ayurveda-raju - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/upper-brookfield/living-ayurveda-health-consciousness-and-the-intelligence-of-the-body-brisbane/200029804107003 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation, workshops, yoga - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 10 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Upper Brookfield - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: Celia Roberts Yoga and Meditation Retreats - **lat**: -27.48552299002 - **long**: 152.85308663998 - **full address**: Celia Roberts Yoga and Meditation Retreats, 190 Pacey Rd, Upper Brookfield QLD 4069, Australia, Upper Brookfield ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Living Ayurveda: Health, Consciousness & the Intelligence of the Body (Brisbane) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/25d84fdacf1c953c5c1403a1eb50cb417d9fc2f706366b58cff98da8cc41336e-rimg-w1200-h814-dcefeef1-gmir?v=1775048994 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Living Ayurveda: Health, Consciousness & the Intelligence of the Body (Brisbane) being held? - **A:** Living Ayurveda: Health, Consciousness & the Intelligence of the Body (Brisbane) takes place on Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 12:30 am to Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 01:30 am at Celia Roberts Yoga and Meditation Retreats, 190 Pacey Rd, Upper Brookfield QLD 4069, Australia, Upper Brookfield. - **Q**: Who is organizing Living Ayurveda: Health, Consciousness & the Intelligence of the Body (Brisbane)? - **A:** Living Ayurveda: Health, Consciousness & the Intelligence of the Body (Brisbane) is organized by Vital Veda. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Living Ayurveda: Health, Consciousness & the Intelligence of the Body (Brisbane)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/25d84fdacf1c953c5c1403a1eb50cb417d9fc2f706366b58cff98da8cc41336e-rimg-w1200-h814-dcefeef1-gmir?v=1775048994", "startDate": "2026-05-23T00:30:00+10:00", "endDate": "2026-05-23T01:30:00+10:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/upper-brookfield/living-ayurveda-health-consciousness-and-the-intelligence-of-the-body-brisbane/200029804107003", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Celia Roberts Yoga and Meditation Retreats", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "190 Pacey Rd, Upper Brookfield QLD 4069, Australia", "addressLocality": "Upper Brookfield", "addressRegion": "QL", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-27.48552299002", "longitude": "152.85308663998" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "It is not often that an Ayurvedic doctor from India, carrying a living family lineage of traditional physicians, visits Brisbane.\n\nOn this special morning at BIYOME (the BioMedical Institute of Yoga & Meditation), Celia Roberts will host an open conversation exploring the wisdom of Ayurveda and", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Vital Veda", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/vital-veda/7571265", "description": "Vital Veda: Experience the power of India's ancient healing science in the splendid & nurturing environment of Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia." } ] } ] ```
