Ayurvedic Diet to Nourish Body, Mind & Soul
Edible foods can be medicine or poison based on gunas, season, prakruti, emotional state, flavors, source energy and more. We will learn not just what to eat but HOW to eat. Additionally, we will explore foods beyond the physical body to the mind , spirit and web of relationships. We will taste foods in order to identify their gunas (qualities), and rasas (flavors/elements).
