SUMMARY:Evolution of Prakriti and the Three Bodies
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, May 3 • 2:00–3:30 pm PST \n\n\n\nWith Swami Gangananda \n\n\n\nIN PERSON OR ONLINEA Zoom link will be sent to online registrants at least an hour before the first class. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe concept of Prakriti (nature or the material world) and the Three Bodies is rooted in ancient Indian philosophy\, particularly in the Samkhya and Yoga systems. Prakriti is understood as the primal\, unmanifested energy that gives rise to the entire universe and all forms of existence. Over time\, Prakriti evolves into three distinct qualities or Gunas: Sattva (purity\, harmony)\, Rajas (activity\, passion)\, and Tamas (inertia\, darkness). These qualities interact and combine in various proportions to create the diverse manifestations of the universe. According to this philosophy\, human beings are also composed of three bodies: the Sthula Sharira (the physical body)\, the Sukshma Sharira (the subtle body\, including mind and emotions)\, and the Karana Sharira (the causal body\, representing the soul or deep consciousness). The evolution of Prakriti through the interplay of these three Gunas gives rise to these bodies\, which in turn influence human experience\, perception\, and consciousness. As a person progresses on the spiritual path\, understanding and transcending the interplay of the Gunas and the bodies leads to liberation\, or Moksha\, where the individual soul realizes its true nature beyond the material world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *PhoneHow will you join? *in persononlineTeachings on Peace *Evolution of Prakriti 5/3 - $25.00Additional Donation*Your tax-deductible donations help to keep these classical Yogic teachings available for humanity!Stripe Credit Card *NameSubmit

SUMMARY:Forgiveness with Fred Luskin
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 21  •  1:00–2:00pm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIN PERSON or ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least an hour before the talk. \n\n\nThe essence of forgiveness is the ability to be resilient when things don’t go our way. It is a unitary experience of objecting to the way life is and trying to substitute the way you want it to be. Then we get upset that our substitution doesn’t take. Be at peace with what is. Give the next moment a chance. \nDr. Fred Luskin holds a Ph.D. in Counseling and Health Psychology from Stanford University. He is the Co-Director of the Stanford-Northern Ireland HOPE Project\, an ongoing series of workshops and research projects that investigate the effectiveness of his forgiveness methods on the victims of political violence. He served as the Director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project\, the largest research project to date on the training and measurement of a forgiveness intervention. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhone *Email *Fred Luskin Talk *Fred Luskin Talk - $25.00Fred Luskin Talk (sliding scale) - $20.00Add a vegetarian lunch at noon - $15.00How would you like to attend: *In personOnlineWould you like to make an additional donation?Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:What's My Dosha?
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 5 @ 2:00–4:00pm \n\n\n\nWith Swami Sivasankariananda \n\n\n\nIN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least an hour before class. \n\n\nFind out who you are and what you need to bring balance to your life. According to the ancient science of Ayurveda\, there are three doshas—vatta\, pitta and kapha. These are energies that pervade the body and mind\, each with different functions crucial to the health of the body systems and the mind. They relate to the five elements and the three gunas. All of the doshas can be found in everybody\, but the differing amounts—received at conception—determine a person’s constitution. \nYour constitution affects things such as your frame and musculature and joints; skin\, hair\, nails; quality of sleep; digestion and eating habits; and memory. Knowing your constitution is key to your health\, as it is essential for understanding which lifestyle is best suited to you.

Rampant modernization and living irregular\, stressful lives dominated by Western medicine and devoid of nature are not helping. \n\nThere are ancient practices of Ayurveda known for preventing or suppressing various tumors using herbal medicine. According to classic Ayurvedic texts\, cancer is described as inflammatory or non-inflammatory swelling. The nervous system (Vata or air)\, the venous system (Pitta or fire) and the arterial system (Kapha or water) are three basics of Ayurveda and very important for normal body function. In malignant tumors\, all three systems go out of control (Tridoshas) and lose mutual coordination\, which causes tissue damage. Tridoshas cause excessive metabolic crisis resulting in proliferation. \nThe main goal of Ayurvedic therapy is to find the ultimate cause of an illness while the therapeutic approach of Ayurveda is divided into four categories: health maintenance\, restoration of normal function\, disease cure and spiritual approach.  \nLearn ways to integrate the ancient practices of Ayurvedic medicine into your daily life for managing and improving your health. From diet and lifestyle to herbal medicines and mantras\, Ayurveda offers an abundance of tools. Ayurveda offers a depth of healing knowledge that is invaluable to us in our modern day ways of living.

DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, February 9 @ 2:00–3:30pm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nONSITEWith Lalitha Vaidyanathan \n\n\n\n \n\n\nAccording to Ayurveda\, herbs and spices stimulate appetite\, strengthen agni (digestive fire)\, and have beneficial therapeutic actions. \nThe six tastes of Ayurveda all have different qualities\, such as cooling or oily. Each taste has an effect on the doshas (Ayurvedic body constitutions)\, because they come from the same elements as the doshas and share the same qualities. A taste that has the same quality as a dosha will increase it. To pacify a dosha that is elevated in your constitution\, emphasize tastes with the opposite qualities.  \nSample some teas and spice blends. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nInstructor\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBased in San Francisco\, Lalitha Vaidyanathan is a Sivananda yoga teacher\, and lifelong practitioner of meditation. She is a certified Ayurvedic Health Practitioner and currently pursuing Ayurvedic Clinical Specialist training (previously known as Ayurvedic Doctor program) through the Kerala Ayurveda Academy in the Bay Area. Lalitha has used the principles of Ayurveda to manage many of her personal health situations. She is passionate about sharing whatever she knows about this ancient science to help others heal and be well. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *I will attend *in persononlineDonation *4/4 Seasonal Allergies & Ayurveda with Dr Bharathi - $30.004/4 Consultation with Dr Bharathi - $200.00Total Amount *$0.00Comment or MessageStripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Ayurvedic Preventive Medicine for Family Health with Dr Bharathi
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 4 • 11:00am–12:30pm  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nONSITE OR ONLINEOnline registrants will be sent a Zoom link at least one hour before the program. \n\n\nHealth is a positive state of happiness achieved through the normal condition of the doshas (constitution)\, dhatus (tissues)\, agni (digestive fire)\, and malas (waste). as well as a serene state of body\, mind and senses. The strength of agni and doshas varies throughout the seasons.  \nThe Ayurvedic lifestyle is based on three things: \n• Routine – Performing healthy practices at the same time each day embeds them in your lifestyle. Your body will know when to prepare itself to wake up\, digest food and go to sleep. Regularity in your routines is essential. All of the body’s processes will benefit. \n• Moderation – Provides balance to our lives and prevents overindulgence. Most commonly\, the road to ill health begins with a lapse in judgment. Even though we know better\, we frequently choose to make unhealthy choices\, most often in pursuit of sense pleasures. This might be overloading the stomach with an excessive meal and disrupting our sleep cycle by staying up too late and sleeping during the day\, or suppressing natural urges to cry\, yawn\, or even go to the bathroom. \n• Tuning in to the natural rhythm of the doshas and agni – They naturally fluctuate during the day\, by season and across phase of life. \nBring balance to your life! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTeacher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDr. Bharathi A.V.\, BAMS\, FAIHM\, YIC\, is a passionate Ayurveda Practitioner\, Speaker\, and Educator with over 20 years of clinical experience.

SUMMARY:The Basis of Ayurvedic Psychology with Ajita Patel
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 6 @ 2:00–3:30pm  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nONSITE OR ONLINEOnline registrants will be sent a Zoom link at least one hour before the program. \n\n\n\nHow to assess and influence the state of your mind: Understanding the Energies of Satva\, Rajas and Tamas \n\n\n\nThe simplest definition of sattva is balance\, rajas is action\, and tamas is inertia. All matter\,  that is everything in the universe\, contains and is influenced by these gunas. Our thoughts\, emotions\, intentions\, responses\, behavior\, all the information that comes through our senses\, and everything that has form and name in the material world—everything can be understood in terms of these three gunas. The most important contribution of this concept is that these gunas not only help us understand our personality but also direct the functioning of our mind and ultimately our experiences in life. These mental traits are not life sentences; they can be increased or reduced by the choices we make. Since everything in the world around us has these same three qualities\, bringing in those objects\, experiences\, interactions through all our senses will increase or decrease the gunas in our mind and personality. This understanding brings us closer to knowing how we can transform our lives and bring in greater harmony and happiness. This is the basis for Ayurvedic psychology. In this workshop\, you will have an opportunity to assess which of these qualities are predominant in your state of mind and  learn practical ways to increase satva and reduce tamas.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTeacher\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAjita Patel is an Ayurvedic Doctor\, Reiki Master\, CMT and certified yoga teacher. She is a state-certified Clinical Ayurveda and Panchakarma Specialist. She received her Ayurveda degree from the California College of Ayurveda and the American Institute of Vedic Studies.
