Oct 4 - 6 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.

This is a 4 session experience with education and ritual.  

Moon Phases & Women's Rituals 

As we experience that phase of the moon, we'll tailor self care practices and personal ritual. 

The emphasis is on attending to your emotional body, as it's affected by the moon phase. We'll also build awareness of our monthly physical patterns, and learn how to support them.

This round, Ayurvedic Chef and author Meredith Klein will teach us the basics of Ayurvedic cleansing on the dark moon. Dancer, author, and world reknown yogini Cristi Christensen will gift us a full moon experience.

There’s the cycle of personal experience patterns that no one is talking about. I  call this cycle, the “psychospiritual spiral.” It is based on where you are personally in the dramas and experience of your life. 

Simply stated, it’s like the sum of stressors/triggers/depletion on the downward turn, and the sum of joy/selfcare/nourishment on the upward turn.

In terms of what is actually affecting how you feel, the order of importance is: moon phase, hormonal levels, and personal experience patterns (most). 

Just like moon phase or hormonal cycles give us clarity on why we may be feeling what we’re feeling, so too, can the psychospiritual spiral. In fact, it’s something we can feel without charting the moon or getting labs.

If I know where I am in my psychospiritual spiral, I know how to react. When we know if we’re on the downward turn, it’s a time to not solve nor react; rather, it’s a time to recenter and nourish before making any decisions. When we act from this place, it’s often just playing out default generational dysfunction. If I’m on the upward turn, it’s time to align and act. 

I want to teach you how to ride your psychospiritual spiral because it has been incredibly helpful in navigating those ups and downs while feeling clear, acting in alignment, and reworking dysfunctional emotional patterns. In other words, it has been an essential context to build my emotional awareness, and wellness.

Sep 27 - 29, 2024 Bhaktifest

Join me at this iconic Joshua Tree yoga, wellness and sacred song festival. 

I'll be teaching a Pre-festival Immersion on Ayurveda & Emotional Wellness on Thursday before (you can addon this option at ticket checkout). 

Pre-Immersion for Thursday, September 26th; 3PM-5PM

Deepen your festival experience with a pre-festival immersion. The latest research clearly demonstrates the powerful impact emotional experiences have on our health and longevity. While we know this to be true, we don’t always know how to be emotionally well.

During this workshop, we’ll open the door to greater emotional intelligence and perception.

We’ll explore emotional wellness through the lens of Ayurveda. Our approach is to customize our healing based on what we are experiencing in real time. This, in turn, increases our depth of connection with ourselves and others.

We’ll learn Ayurvedic approaches to:
● Emotional wellness
● Self-assessment
● Psychospiritual healing
● Customizing healing tools

During the festival, I will teach a workshop Saturday am on Moon Phases & Women's Cycles
