Dear Friend:

Your feedback to me is always so very much appreciated! Ayurveda is touching our lives and helping us along the path of self-improvement, unveiling our true Selves day to day.

Spring is the season for cleansing and scientific detoxification, as the annual kapha cycle gives way to the upcoming pitta time of year, bringing new flow and growth. All is sprouting and burgeoning with new life. Darkness is giving way to longer daylight phases while preparing in the depths to move towards new expansions.

Dissolution and evolution are in focus at present with the latest pics of our long-discussed ‘black hole’ as a reality in the news. Time to take new, bold steps with faith in the life cycle and its middle path of joyful, shared experiences of Ayurveda!

If you feel you have the channel system and tissue health suited to cleansing, now is a good time of year. If you are not sure about your readiness for cleansing, please contact your Ayurveda practitioner. Please do keep in mind that any cleansing phase is followed by an equal re-building phase, according to the ancient texts.

PANCHAKARMA IN WHISTLER

This newsletter issue features my beloved long-time student and colleague, Colleen Fraser in beautiful Whistler, BC. We’ve done many panchakarma programs together in the US & Canada over the decades and now that I no longer do the treatments myself, dear Colleen is offering a top-notch service in a stunning setting.

Now that the C.A.R.E. Foundation is calling me more to the non-profit side of Ayurveda in Canada, younger practitioners are taking up introductory classes and body healing treatments, according to natural cycles. I’m recommending dear Colleen Fraser for the best in residential, retreat-style cleansing programs.

FREE INTRO. TO AYURVEDA AT IHN
(BROADWAY & ASH)
JUNE 1, 2019

Ayurveda:
The World’s Oldest Mind/Body Self-Healing Science
for OPTIMUM DIGESTION

For many years I taught Ayurveda at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Vancouver and came to deeply appreciate the Institute’s dedication to their graduates. The Institute offers a short Ayurveda program as part of the overall nutrition program, a rare recognition today of the importance of the mother of all holistic sciences.

Join us for this OPEN HOUSE program to explore Imbalances that are informed by and later precipitate disease symptoms. Causes are considered to originate in psycho-emotional and psycho-spiritual disturbances, therefore meditation is considered the first and last medicine, to help re-equilibrate our consciousness.

Balance and imbalance are defined according to the five-element (panchamahabhuta) theory of Sankhiya philosophy, which also informs Yoga, or the science of re-unification of soul and Oversoul. Ayurveda helps to understand and re-balance the physiology, particularly optimal digestion and elimination, while Yoga is principally for re-balancing the mind. The two are therefore inseparable and were always taught together until modern times.

You will learn practical means of restoring your physical health through digestion as the foundation for symptom-free living, such as individualized food guidelines (including herbal science), daily self-care practices and the theory of cleansing and rejuvenation according to ancient Ayurveda, still most valid today.

Meet the 3 wonderful new Ayurveda teachers at IHN who are now growing this program in Vancouver, BC.

DATE:          Sat. June 1st, 2019
TIME:           11:30am - 1pm
LOCATION:   604 West Broadway #300, Vancouver, BC
                     near Cambie Skytrain Station
RSVP:           Institute of Holistic Nutrition, 604-558-4000
Pre-registration is required for this FREE program.

Payment deadline of Sept. 1 is fast approaching and our enrolment is higher than ever for this program. Please do register early with your deposit to ensure your spot! As spots are filling up even now, I’m advising you not to wait until the Sept. 1 payment deadline, instead to reserve your spot and accommodations now.

This program has inspired me on so many levels in my life – not simply my physical health, but also bringing the dividends of courage, creativity and inspiration are accruing year to year. Amazing feeling in my 70’s now!
