Ayurveda and Aromatherapy training, California

[Guest guest]

Deanna is the practitioner who is most gifted with mother and baby

even pregnancy pulse. Dr. DAvid Crowe is a great advocate of

Ayurveda, Chinese HErbs, and Essential oils, with his own company

sustainably sourcing also his oils. Although I don't agree with some

of his cautions around oils use nor respect some obvious negativity

towards my usual sources (perhaps a lot due to general quality issues

and partly just protecting people from the inevitable, didn't follow

directions concerns!) I've heard many of his lectures and honor him as

a great teacher. If I were nearby I'd be doing my best to attend,

always learning from every teacher.

 

THis program is just 2 weeks before the National Ayurveda Medical

conference featuring also great teachers in Yoga and Jyotish Astrology

and their coordinated work with Ayurveda this year.

Ayurvedic Foundations with Deanna Batdorff

Friday, October 3, 10-5PM

The basic foundations of Ayurveda will be covered with an emphasis on

our inherited tendencies, traits & constitutional types

(vata,pitta,kapha) and the specific qualities of nature

(hot/cold/wet/dry). Through the experience of smelling essential oils

we will discover how to determine the effects of essential oils on the

gunas & the doshas.

much coveted secrets of making nourishing aphrodisiac treats with

Using Essential Oils According to Ayurvedic Principles with David Crow

Saturday, October 4th 10-6PM

The use of aromatic plants, essential oils, and hydrosols is a branch

of Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine. This class presents the most

important essential oils used currently in aromatherapy,

categorized according to doshas (constitutional types), subdoshas

(physiological functions of the doshas), the five elements, prana

(life force), and ojas (nutritional essence).

 

Contemplating Ayurvedic Healing Wisdom with David Crow

Sunday, October 5th 10-5PM

Contemplating Ayurvedic Healing Wisdom is an integration of classical

Buddhist meditation methods and Ayurvedic medical philosophy, which

leads to a deeper sensitivity to the body's power of

self-healing. During this program we inwardly contemplate the nature

of prana (life force), the five universal elements that form the inner

and outer world, and the movement of the three primary bodily

humors (vata, pitta, kapha), and other important Ayurvedic principles.

Agni Hotra Homa, Sunday Evening, 6 - 8PM

David will facilitate an exquisite fire ceremony (agni hotra) where we

will have the opportunity to offer prayer, stories, and song.
