Become your own wellness alchemist with Ayurvedic cooking.
No upcoming program dates at this time.
We have a deep connection with food. When we’re happy, we celebrate with food. When we’re sad, we comfort ourselves with food. Food is powerful and fills our stomachs but it also affects our mind. It has the power to either harm us or help us.
During this retreat, we focus on becoming connected in the kitchen—building our relationship with food through our connection with nature, our connection with ourselves, and our connection to cooking.
We will explore the dynamics of digestion, the power of plants, the strength of spices, and the greatness of grains, all while learning all about YOUR unique constitution! You’ll learn how to take care of your body type and thrive in every season through theory discussions on topics such as foods that cleanse, building immunity, and treating imbalances with nutrition. We’ll discuss dietary strategies and demonstrate authentic Ayurvedic food preparation. You’ll
- Learn to cook delicious meals with fresh, seasonal ingredients
- Deepen your understanding of your dosha
- Reconnect with yourself and your body’s unique dietary needs
- Feel vital and nourished year-round.
Our online events with renowned Ayurvedic cooking instructor Nalini Mehta are comprehensive introductions to Ayurvedic cooking. Nalini’s masterful demonstrations and knowledge will ignite your passion, curiosity, and interest in holistic foods and spices.
You’ll have opportunities to participate and get lots of great information and recipes to help you stay healthy, happy, and whole all year!
