Creating Balance and Optimal Health with an Eye Towards Ayurvedic
Ayurveda, the 5,000 year old healing science originating in ancient India, is derived from the Sanskrit words “ayus” meaning life or longevity and “veda” meaning knowledge or wisdom. Ayurveda seeks to achieve balance of mind, body, heart, and spirit through psychological insights, yoga, meditation and eating well. There are 3 doshes: body and psychological types that each have different needs in order to achieve balance. Join facilitator Angela Butimer, LPC, RYT, as she guides participants through gaining deeper insight into the psychological, physical, emotional and spiritual Ayurvedic principles, as well as some experiential exercises to achieve harmony and balance within. Chef Nancy Waldeck will then lead you through the culinary principles of Ayurvedic eating for optimal health and show you how to prepare a nutritious and delicious Ayurvedic meal.
