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.

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

• Anyone curious about Ayurveda but unsure where to start
