There are many ways we can nourish ourselves. Creativity, expression, service, movement, spiritual practices, relationships, and what we eat can all be forms of nourishment. When one area is off balance, we tend to be off balance in other areas as well.This bowl is an exquisitely delicious, healing experience in its entirety.  

So many health issues can be traced to our gut health. The idea behind a good khichadi is that it is easy to digest, nourishing without being heavy, and light enough to allow our bodies to detox very gently. Khichadi cleansing, healing, balancing, warming, and comforting (all descriptive words you want in a winter dish), and is simple, easy to digest (it actually soothes the intestinal wall, many consume it when they’re on a cleanse), and is a complete source of protein. Seriously, what more could you want?

The ancient Vedic art of eating is meditation. In Ayurveda, we practice eating by sitting on the floor. Meditation is food for the soul. Our mental attitude greatly depends on the food we eat. Food not only nourishes the body but affects the mind and its alertness and awareness. It is important for you to understand your food, your body, and your mind. Choose your food wisely and clear the way for a blissful meditative experience. A healthy body and a calm mind help us meditate better and go deep within ourselves. A vegetarian diet is easier on the body and conducive to meditation as well.

The sun and moon are not just entities in the sky - they are free medicine given to you by Mother Earth. The sun and the moon connect you to the yin and the yang, the god and the goddess within you, the male and the female – this is Mother Earth’s free medicine for us all to benefit from!  

Smita will show you how to balance your plate using this ancient Vedic art.  

Ayurveda says a meal should have 6 tastes - sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent.

Spices are powerful and concentrated. A small quantity of spices has a large effect. Spices build digestive strength (agni), and detoxify (burn ama). They improve circulation and flush secretions.

According to Ayurveda, each dosha (vata, pitta, and kapha) benefit from different spices. So which spices are best for each dosha?  In this workshop you will discover the special qualities of each spice & how to use these.
