Spring can bring a welcome uplift of new energy, fresh ideas, and an impulse to connect - yet in this moment of global conflict, many of us may feel heavy, worried, or disconnected.
This retreat will light up our spring energy, build a sense of inner peace, and remind us of our power to nourish ourselves so we can take meaningful action in our lives.
According to Ayurveda, spring is the season when Kapha dosha rises...
The dry cold of winter makes way for the melting moisture of spring with the promise of warmth in the air. However, if there is too much Kapha, the onslaught of liquid heaviness can leave us feeling sluggish, congested or unmotivated.
KAPHA ITSELF IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
When balanced, Kapha is the very force that gives us stability, immunity, patience, and a loving heart. It is the grounded presence that allows us to nurture and to persevere - so long as we keep it warm and moving.
Living in tune with Spring is not about fighting Kapha dosha, but about stimulating and uplifting it. It's about adding more LIGHT so Kapha's steadiness becomes resilience, and its moisture becomes compassion, rather than stagnation.
Come discover how to support Kapha and its gifts of immunity and emotional steadiness — the quiet glow that allows us to feel nourished from within.
