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 doshas: body and psychological types that each have different needs in order to achieve balance. Join facilitator Angela Buttimer, 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.
