Spring Ayurveda Workshop
with Michael Rishi Forrester

What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda provides both curative and preventive measures towards optimal physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The word "Ayurveda" is from the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit, and literally means "Knowledge of Life". Inherent in Ayurvedic principles is the concept that you are capable of taking charge of your own life and healing.

More than simply medical care, Ayurveda offers a philosophy whereby one may prevent unnecessary suffering and live a long, healthy life. Known as the mother of all medical systems, Ayurveda has undergone continuous research, development and refinement over past 5,000 years. Originally from India, Ayurveda is currently experiencing world-wide popularity as a revival sweeps in all continents. Ayurveda employs the judicious application of nutritional guidance, herbal medicines, exercise therapy, transcendental meditation and many special rejuvenation and purification therapies. Preferring to focus on the type of person who has the disease, rather than just understanding the type of disease the person has, Ayurveda is a patient-orientated system of healing.

What will the workshop cover? The Ayurveda Workshop for Spring will cover different lifestyles, practices, herbs, and other remedies for balancing the Kapha Dosha during its primary season, Spring.   This workshop will cover the basics of Ayurveda, its history, application, and several different facets of Pancha Karma and Shamana. This workshop is for beginners and adepts alike, giving laymen the ability to address issues and find balance using commonly available remedies.

Saturday, March 13 from 1-4 pm - $40 ($35 by March 6. Minimum 6 students required.)
