SUMMARY:Ayurvedic Retreat 2024
DESCRIPTION:At the onset of Covid\, Amma did an extended Ayurvedic treatment. Again in 2023\, she returned with a group of students \nSome Ayurvedic treatments are designed to gently dismantle your system to allow new health to emerge. Combining meditation would help with insight\, letting go of beliefs and identities that no longer serve you\, and integration after the dismantling process. The hospital encouraged me to return with a group of experienced students and offer meditation in conjunction with the treatment. \nThis retreat will be for a small group of meditation practitioners undergoing Ayurvedic treatment. We will meet 1-2 times a day for guided meditation\, discussion\, and inquiry. This will not be a silent retreat. Amma will also be undergoing treatment. \nIf you are interested\, please fill out the Ayurvedic Retreat Form.
