Thank you Kalavity for coming!! And for your support!!!

 

It was such a pleasure to meet you and talk to you. I look forward to

spending time with you again.

 

I am very interested in creating a gathering of women along with Susan and

Ria who was one of the pregnant mamas. Susan knows a place we may be able

to use for free and sounds like a hot spot for people with similar interests

as ours.

 

Thank you for the beautiful recap of the evening. I deeply enjoyed the

event and look forward to organizing another one.

Ayurvedic Perinatal Open House

 

Dear Sonya (and everyone!) ~

 

Namaste. I hope you are recovering from your big weekend and Monday night!

 

I really enjoyed the gathering of women and the nice exchange we all had.

I

am so happy to have met you, Martha and Terra.

 

I would like to share a little recap of the Ayurvedic Perinatal Open House

that was held at the Solstice Institute in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday

evening

for those who were not able to attend. It was so nice that I want to

encourage everyone to accept the gift of meeting Martha, her students and

colleagues whenever the opportunity presents itself.

 

The evening began with doulas, students, pregnant mamas and other

interested

ladies chatting, arranging flowers and anticipating Martha's arrival.

Unless one knew her already, they might not know immediately when she

entered the

room because of her graceful, quiet and humble presence. Bringing with her

 

the beautifully prepared Ayurvedic postpartum foods and arranging them on

the

table along with the bounty Sonya prepared, she encouraged everyone to

partake and began serving her guests. Wisdom and affection flowed from her

 

naturally and everyone was happy to receive the education and care she gave

us.

 

As we ate the *warm, wet and sweet* foods, Martha, Terra and Sonya

explained

the Ayurvedic components of each preparation and how they affected the

postpartum woman. Several questions were raised and addressed. There was

much

humor, depth and spiritual connection as well as positive energy toward the

 

three pregnant women present. Universal principles and individual

attention are

the hallmark of any authentic and effective service/practice and they were

in abundance at this gathering!

 

Toward the end of the evening, we discussed the possibility of beginning an

 

ongoing gathering that would support and inform women who wanted to continue

 

and broaden the Ayurvedic wisdom and influence in their family life.

 

I hope others will be able to visit and study with Martha and her students

and I can't wait to get together with Sonya again!

 

Thank you for a lovely evening.

 

Sincerely,

Kalavati
