Preparing for the Future: Rituals of Self Care
🤙 About Event
We live in a fast-paced, rapidly changing world that demands extra care — both for ourselves and the planet. Now more than ever, how we nourish ourselves daily is essential for a lifetime of resilience, balance, and well-being.
In this immersive 90-minute workshop with Ayurvedic Practitioner Sheila Govindarajan, embark on an exploration of the senses – where touch, taste, sight, sound, and scent become your guide back to equilibrium.
Set in a garden space, this sensorial journey will help you slow down, reconnect, and build sustainable self-care practices so you can show up for yourself, your community, and the planet from a place of deep harmony, and engagement with the five senses:
A ritual of listening, where sound dissolves stress, allowing you to hear the quiet wisdom of the natural world.
A ritual of touch, as warm, herb-infused oils seep into your skin, anchoring you in the present.
A ritual of sight, where colors shift, light dances, and you begin to truly see.
A ritual of taste, through a carefully crafted, Ayurvedic adaptogenic tea, blended to restore and revive.
A ritual of scent, awakening memory, intuition, and a sense of place.
Plus, enjoy a complimentary carefully crafted Ayurvedic adaptogenic tea to enhance your experience.
NOTE: Please wear layers, loose clothes, and bring your own mug for Ayurvedic tonic.
