We're restoring the cross-cultural tradition of circling together and exploring the deeper teachings you can't learn in books and videos. Experience circling with other committed students, practitioners and elders who are passionate and curious.
Join us in circle with seasoned Ayurveda Practitioners, Acupuncturists and guest Indigenous Elders as we explore the practical knowledge and mysteries of Nature Based teachings from intact lineages of Ayurveda, Taoism, Indigenous Knowledge and so on.
Through soulful reflections, storytelling and dialogue we hone in on a particular teaching within these and pull the thread of the underlying principles, application, and understandings they offer.
Ayurveda Elementals

During each gathering, we tap into core universal principles and explore how these are expressed in our bodies, behaviors, relationships, and personal patterns.
​
We then lean into the practical applications of what to be aware of and how to influence the principles of nature to live in greater flow, connection, and abundance.
These circles are open to all. They're especially potent for students of Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Yoga and other Nature based Traditions.
