Offerings

The latest research clearly demonstrates the powerful impact of our emotional experience on our health and longevity. While we know this to be true, we don’t always know how to be emotionally well. 

During this weekend, we open the door to greater emotional intelligence and perception. With a combination of lecture, interactive exercises, breathwork, movement (yoga and dance), and meditation, we practice understanding our feelings, and how to respond to them. 

You will have the opportunity to explore the foundation of emotional wellness through the lens of Ayurveda. This approach allows us to customize our healing based on what we are experiencing, in real time. This increases our depth of connection with ourselves and others. 

An experiential workshop to learn

• Basics of emotional Ayurveda
• Self assessment
• Psychospiritual healing approaches 
• How to customize your healing approach

Stoke the Fire: A Modern Tea Ritual

Discourse + Tea Tasting - In Ayurveda, your digestive fire is the gatekeeper of health and longevity. When it burns steady and strong, your body can nourish, detoxify, and repair itself with ease. When it weakens or burns erratically, metabolic pathways are inhibited, paving the way for chronic symptoms, autoimmune patterns, dementia and cancer. In this thoughtful tea ritual and discussion, Dr. Siva Mohan—MD, MPH, and bestselling author in Ayurveda lifestyle—guides you through the science and wisdom of Agni as a core pillar of prevention.

Includes guided tea tasting, and personal digestive insights. Plantissa (with tea)

Emotional Basis of Tummy Trouble

Ayurveda is a very sophisticated science when it comes to understanding digestion. Yet, even within Ayurveda, it’s so common to find these reductionist approaches to food, healing, and supporting digestion. I hope to keep alive the core holistic essence of Ayurveda, by including  the emotional and psychospiritual layers in the digestive experience. We’ll review four major categories of digestive issues: constipation, diverticular diseases, ulcerative and inflammatory diseases, and cancerous and benign growths. 

• Understand the relationship between emotions and digestion
• Understand the pathophysiology and the energetics of these four major categories of digestive ailments
• Glimpse the emotional patterns supporting the disease process
• Take a look at how your emotional state affects your agni, digestion, and elimination

Ayurveda & Psychospiritual Wellness

This topic is a needed adjunct to the physical focus of Ayurveda, and self care. We’ll cover my most pertinent insights and practices for psychospiritual wellness. Of course, we’ll do some live case study, and self reflective exercises so you can begin to apply. 

• Broaden your definition of health
• Understand the effects of patriarchy and mass marketing on the practice of Ayurveda
• Glimpse  the benefits of incorporating the psychospiritual aspects of Ayurveda
• Understand spiritual growth
• Understand emotional needs
• How to handle unpleasant emotions
• Learn about the psychospiritual spiral, and our cyclical emotional experience
• Be able to step into emotionally empowered decision making
• See how patterns across the emotional body mimic those in the physical body (case study)
• Understand how holistic healing becomes inseparable from spiritual growth

Moon Rituals & Women’s Cycles

With women taking on more, and the growing incidence of reproductive cancers, it’s an important time to strengthen our intuition, our ojas, and our ability to connect to nature’s rhythms. Mood sadhana is one of the most powerful ways to do so. Understanding the emotional functions of your monthly cycle is also helpful context to navigate your personal experience. We’ll also do some self assessment and reflection. 

Learning objectives

• Learn the moon cycle
• Understand how the moon affects changes in our bodies
• Learn about subtle causes of disease in your women-parts
• Understand the connection of emotions and the yoni
• Learn rituals and self care practices for moon phases

Cancer

One in three women in the US will have cancer. One in five will die from it. These statistics are several years old, which means that incidence and mortality are likely higher than when we last did the analysis. Let’s talk about why cancer happens and why it’s so prevalent. Also, let’s look at psychospiritual factors and treatment integration. 

• Understand how cancer occurs and what it is
• Learn subtle energy causes
• Learn possibilities for individualization in treatment
• Learn possibilities for integration with Modern Medicine

Happy Heart

The health of our heart and blood is so much deeper than our lab values and diet. I’ll present physical and emotional factors playing into happy circulation, and we’ll approach healing from the same holistic lens. 

• Understand what cardiovascular disease is, and it’s etiology
• Learn subtle energy causes
• Learn skills to heal in relating to others and self
• Learn Ayurvedic tools for heart health

Modern medicine integrations

Our goal is to see the opportunity for integration of Ayurveda with Modern Medicine, and other modalities. A good portion of this class is dedicated to live case discussion, so come ready to ask about ailments you, clients, or loved ones are experiencing. 

• Understand how Ayurvedic approaches can integrate with Modern Medicine approaches
• Case Study - Learn integrative approaches for respiratory disease
• Case Study - Learn integrative approaches for autoimmune conditions
• Case Study - Learn integrative approaches for thyroid disease

Apr 17-19, 2026 Ayurveda & Emotional Healing Retreat at One Commune Ranch

Topanga, CA USA

Ayurveda and emotions - perhaps two of the most difficult to articulate, abstract wellness  concepts for most people. Few people think of Ayurveda as anything more than “typing yourself” for spa treatments, or diet rules. 

Many believe going to therapy is all there is to being emotionally healthy. Emotions are often reduced to chemical imbalances, and often blown up to fuel conflict - it’s a confusing, messy topic. 

Every Functional Medicine Dr. is speaking of the importance of emotional health, but no one is showing us how. This is why I created a clear approach and context to teach you the basics of Emotional Wellness. 

In true Ayurveda fashion, your approach will be customized for your personal growth. Life gives us a terrain of patterns to navigate, and we can traverse the terrain in a way that feels better and supports our health.

Learning skills and building insight bring the mind on as a team member for the emotional body. It’s essential for these two intelligence systems to work together. But, it’s just as important to learn how to feel better emotionally. We’ll practice some of my favorite tools together to release tension, and self soothe. 

Within the safe container of our group, we’ll practice vulnerability and support each other to apply the concepts we learned together. I’ll workshop live cases, and lead you through a self reflective process.

In Ayurveda, we consider every energetic aspect of the experience. Your schedule and nutrition will also support your emotional healing experience.
