aries ((new moon)) virtual retreat
a 10-day guided home retreat
by donation//sliding-scale basis
april 16th-25th, 2018
The new moon of Aries, in conjunction with the end of kapha (winter//early spring) season, is an optimal time for rejuvenation of our immunity, digestion, and vitality. By honoring the natural rhythm of the lunar and solar cycles, our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being is then supported and nourished in alignment with the ayurvedic philosophy of ritucharya – living in harmony with the change of seasons.
Our guided home retreat will feel similar to a cleanse, yet more gentle, less intensive, and with more emphasis on rejuvenating the nervous system (vata) and strengthening our immunity (kapha). According to ayurvedic seasonal philosophy, vata and kapha doshas are the most malnourished at the end of winter. This often manifests as increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia (all vata); plus, kapha manifestations such as respiratory infections, suppressed immunity, and low energy.
Our guided home retreat will support you in finding emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being as we transition into a new moon, a new season, and a new sense of balance//harmony from deep within.
Our donation-based, home yoga//ayurveda retreat will include:
-daily recipes (vegan/gluten-free/ayurveda-inspired)
-guided meditations//breathing practices
-inspirational yogic philosophy//journaling prompts
-instructions for home ayurvedic spa treatments
-seasonal ayurvedic practices for spring wellness
-a private facebook page for group support
One private, 30-minute ayurvedic consultation is available complimentary to all participants by phone prior, during, or following the retreat. Handcrafted herbal formulas and ayurvedic massage/herbal bodywork treatments are available to participants for an additional sliding-scale donation.
The flexible, supportive schedule of this program allows you to participate on your *own* timeline and schedule. You will receive daily emails and facebook updates of our program curriculum. Each day will provide several suggestions for nourishing, yogic self-care. You are welcome to choose as few or as many suggestions each day as you’d like. Practice these routines in the morning, in the evening, or anytime your schedule allows during the day. The facebook page is available 24/7 for participants and the facilitator to support each other throughout our journey of the home retreat.
In honor of the practice of karma yoga, this retreat is available on a sliding-scale/donation basis of $3-25/per day, per participant. Local participants in need of further financial assistance may apply for a work trade at our farm in Leicester by emailing yogashamana@gmail.com.
