Perfect Health: An Ayurvedic Half-Day Retreat (4 Hours)

Ancient wisdom. Practical tools. Real-life balance.

This immersive half-day retreat condenses the core teachings of the Perfect Health – Ayurveda series into a thoughtfully paced, engaging, and experiential 4-hour experience. Designed to be both educational and immediately applicable, this retreat blends interactive lecture, guided practices, discussion, and sensory exploration so participants leave feeling informed, empowered, and refreshed—not overwhelmed (Ayurveda believes in balance, after all).

The retreat is taught using a projected slide deck, and all materials will be emailed to participants afterward—saving trees and tote bags everywhere.

What to Expect

This retreat weaves together five essential pillars of Ayurvedic living:

• Understanding your unique mind-body constitution

• Eating to support digestion, energy, and balance

• Emotional wellbeing and conscious communication

• Healing through the senses (your built-in inner pharmacy)

• Creating daily routines that align with nature

Throughout the retreat, participants will experience:

• Short guided meditations and breathing practices

• Interactive discussions and self-reflection

• Experiential sensory practices (taste, scent, movement)

• Practical tools that can be used immediately at home

Retreat Flow & Content

Introduction to Ayurveda: The Science of Life

We begin with an overview of Ayurveda as a personalized, preventative system of health. Participants will learn about the multidimensional nature of life, the five elements, and the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Optional Prakruti and Vikruti quizzes will help participants identify their personal constitution and current imbalances.
Format: Interactive lecture + experiential self-assessment

Ayurvedic Nutrition: Eating for Balance

This session explores digestion as the foundation of health. Participants will learn about the six tastes, how herbs and spices support digestion, how color impacts vitality, and how to eat mindfully. A tasting experience brings the six tastes to life, along with practical grocery and meal-planning guidance.
Format: Brief meditation + lecture + experiential tasting

Emotional Freedom & Energy Flow

Emotions are powerful—and Ayurveda doesn’t suggest ignoring them. This segment covers emotional wellbeing, core emotional needs, conscious communication, and practical techniques for clearing emotional stress. Participants will experience a guided visualization and journaling practice to release emotional toxins and restore energy flow.
Format: Meditation, visualization, partnered reflection, and lecture

Inner Pharmacy: Healing Through the Senses

This session introduces sensory healing—using sound, touch, sight, taste, smell, and even laughter as medicine. Participants will explore dosha-balancing sensory tools, including essential oils, colors, and self-soothing practices. (All scent experiences are optional, and allergies will be checked beforehand.)
Format: Meditation/breathwork + lecture + sensory exploration

Ayurvedic Daily Routines: Living in Rhythm

We close by bringing everything together through daily routines aligned with nature. Topics include the dosha clock, seasonal living, sleep, gentle detox practices, mindful movement, and pranayama. Participants will learn how to create a simple, realistic daily routine using practices like tongue cleaning, self-massage, breathwork, and mindful movement.
Format: Lecture with optional movement, breathing, and group reflection

Who This Retreat Is For

• Anyone curious about Ayurveda but unsure where to start

• Those feeling overwhelmed by wellness trends and craving simplicity

• Individuals looking for practical, sustainable tools for health and balance

• Humans who eat food, have emotions, and live in a body (so… everyone)

Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of their unique nature, concrete tools to support health and wellbeing, and a renewed sense of clarity—without needing to overhaul their entire life by Monday morning.

Come curious. Leave balanced. ✨

This series is ideal for anyone seeking a grounded, approachable, and deeply practical introduction to mindfulness—no prior meditation experience required. Come curious, leave more present.

This interactive, discussion-based series blends mindful education with real-life application. Each class combines guided instruction, engaging conversation, and experiential practices designed to help participants integrate mindfulness into their everyday lives—not just on the mat, but at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Classes are taught in an interactive lecture format using slides and/or printed workbooks. Participants are invited into thoughtful dialogue through guided questions that help them personally connect the material to their own experiences. The curriculum draws from the three pillars of effective mindfulness, gratitude practices, sensory awareness, and foundational elements of Buddhist philosophy.

Each session includes:

• A guided group meditation

• Reflection surveys and experiential discussions

• Practical tools that can be applied immediately to daily life

Participants are encouraged to maintain a consistent at-home meditation practice throughout the series and reflect on how these practices influence their awareness, emotions, and habits over time.
