Ayurvedic Meals
Fall is an important time to reset your digestive system. Ayurveda recommends a seasonal reset* to cleanse the channels of the body every fall and spring, preparing the body and mind for the upcoming winter months when the channels shrink to prevent congestion and illness.
Be nourished by organic, local ingredients prepared with Ayurvedic principles, to cultivate health and wellness. Seasonal kitchari (a traditional easy-to-digest Ayurvedic meal) for lunch each day and dinner on Saturday evening. CCF tea (coriander, cumin and fennel) will also be served to aid digestion on all levels (physical, emotional and mental).
*Consider joining the virtual Ayurvedic seasonal reset with Deva Shantay that begins September 28th and culminates with the end of the retreat on October 5th.
