Ayurvedic Weekend
with Asheville, N.C.'s Daneal Healey

Ayurveda is the science and study of "life" established out of ancient Indian culture 5000 years ago. It offers a way to live in harmony with nature both internally and externally. This weekend intensive will introduce Sankya philosophy. Topics include: how consciousness manifests into matter, the five elements: ether, air, fire, water and earth and, how these elements combine to create unique human constitutions. We'll explore the gunas (qualities) and how they combine to create the doshas (humors). When the gunas and doshas are in balance, they maintain all bodily functions -but when out of balance, they can lead to sickness, instability or disease.  Participants in this weekend will gain insight to their own unique constitutions as they relate to the doshas and gunas. We will also assess our present state of health and balance. We will learn how to organize our lives and manage the doshas in order to live in more harmony with ourselves and the world around us so that we can experience joy, ease, and vibrant health.

In the afternoon we will take a deeper look at the Doshas. Exploring what they look like, feel like and their functions so that we can begin to get a sense of our unique constitution, determined at the time of our conception.
