Join us at the Main Library on Thursday, January 15th at 6pm for an Introduction to Ayurveda! Ayurveda is a holistic, natural, indigenous medicine that originated 5,000 years ago in India. It uses food, spices, herbs and lifestyle practices with the intention of attaining better health–especially as we tackle the colder months. In this session, Brett Aldrich, Breathwork Practitioner, Ayurveda Counselor, and founder of Seed the Spirit in Portland, will walk participants through the foundations of Ayurveda, including:
The history of Ayurvedic Medicine
How Ayurvedic Medicine works, and why we still use it today
Techniques on how to marry our current lifestyle with this sacred medicine
Incorporating Ayurveda into your life is possible! Over time, simple lifestyle choices with the guidance of Ayurveda can lead to better overall health, and life, in this new year and beyond.
