Spring Cleanse Renewal Retreat
March 18th 11:00 am - 2:00 pm and March 19th 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
(For Women Only)
It’s that time of year again, spring!
It is time to cultivate the viriditas, the greening power of spring renewal, through a guided Ayurvedic cleanse and time in sacred space and nature with a circle of women.
We will be gathering Sundays March 18th and 19th for a non-residential retreat to enliven our inner fire (agni/digestion), cleanse our body of accumulated toxins (ama), and renew ourselves mind, body, and spirit in a circle of women at the lovely SEAreniTEA healing sanctuary on the pristine Gaviota Coast.
This workshop will be limited to 10 lucky women, so register soon to save your spot.
On Saturday we will gather to learn the basics of Ayurveda, the five elements and the three doshas, and to review the new Anahata Healing Arts Ayurvedic Cleanse Guidebook so that you can begin your self-guided home cleanse with confidence and clarity. We will then have a kitchari cooking demo followed by lunch and fresh tea from the gardens beneath the grand cypress. We will be nurtured by the beauty of the land and the sea and the circle of sisterhood under the wisdom of the cypress tree, which historically has been associated with healing, uprightness, and eternal life. Cypress trees thrive in poor soil and harsh climates and can teach us about resilience and adaptability.
On Sunday we will gather and open with gentle yoga asana, appropriate for all levels, followed by a lecture and demonstration about the gifts of Ayurvedic Abyyanga, the original transdermal medicine. We will discover together how to receive herbal intelligence through oiling the skin and practice the protection of our nervous system with a ‘spacesuit of love’.
We will close our weekend with a traditional fire ceremony (homa) to make offerings to the seven tongues of Kali (the flames of the fire) and observe the teachings of Ayurveda in a living and vital way, seeing that indeed our inner fire of digestion is a sacred fire into which we offer the gifts of food and nourishment to the holy vessel of our body. (Homa will be weather dependent due to possible risk of fire if there are high winds.)
