Ayurveda Sangha:Fall in Love with Ayurveda Again (or for the First Time)
2nd Saturdays of the month, starting August 9th, 8am Pacific Time
We invite members to a joyful monthly exploration into the soul of Ayurveda with Sadhya Vimala. Ayurveda is a pillar in our Vedic lineage...one of the three sister sciences of Vedanta, Yoga and Ayurveda. Traditional Ayurveda teaches us to care for the physical body, that houses our soul, with ancient practices using diet and lifestyle and by aligning with the rhythms of the universe.
In this monthly gathering we explore how Ayurveda can deepen our connection with Mother Nature and our own Self. Acharya Shunya's book "Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom" will be a basis for our discussions. We take a practice, topic or perhaps a story from Baba and bring it to life - so we can all fall in love with Ayurveda, and come closer to our inherent right to health.
All members are warmly welcome.
