New Ayurveda School on the West Coast

[Guest guest]

I just learned that the Mount Madonna Center in Northern California

has been approved by the State of California to offer both State

recognized degrees in Ayurveda (even a Masters!) and diplomas,

depending upon the respective programs.

 

The program looks quite extensive, spanning 21 months( 30 months for

the Masters program) in a weekend per month format. They appear to

have all the well known Ayurvedic teachers on faculty, Dr. Vasant

Lad, Dr. John Doulliard, Dr. Sarita Shresta are just a few of them.

 

They appear to have taken the lead in creating their educational

offerings. An extensive internship is an integral part of the

program. A number of other schools I have research state they offer

an internship, but when reading the fine-print it appears that

students really have to create their own program. Mount Madonna

appears to be the exception.

 

This will be an in-residence program. Housing and all meals are

included as part of the program. They are including a significant

portion of hands-on experiential training too. Growing herbs, making

medicine and all the Ayurvedic body work therapies.

 

If one is considering a career in Ayurvedic medicine, this looks

like a good place to consider.
