Advanced Āyurveda and Herbalism for Women’s Health

[Adena Rose Bright]

Happy holidays and powerful solstice time dearest ones! I was inspired by Erin’s email regarding her PACe credit offering, and hope it’s not unwelcome to send my own. I’m really excited about taking my women’s health courses to the next level with my colleague from The Ayurvedic Center and Ayurvedic Institute graduate, Emma Landau.

THe course is called Advanced Āyurveda and herbalism for sex, fertility and menstrual health. The focus will be for women during their childbearing years. It is part two based on the womb Healing Course I have been teaching for 5 years now! I can’t wait to go deeper into herbalism and samprapti.

We will be online through Zoom, we ask members to commit for four out of five sessions, because it’s a powerful healing container, gathering with women (women only at this time.) 

Here is my website with more details: http://www.adenaroseayurveda.com/whc-part-2/

Class begins Saturday January 16, 10am-12pm ET. Ending February 13.

Nama credits available - cost is 499.

Ayurvedic herbalism, or the knowledge of substance as medicine (Dravyaguna vijnanam) is a complex and deep study that can open up new worlds of healing to herbalists and plant lovers from all backgrounds. This introductory course aims to highlight the most important keys to working with herbs in the Ayurvedic framework. We will highlight and aim to understand more deeply Guna (quality), rasa (taste) and virya (most potent energetic) when it comes to aushadi/dravya (herbs/substances) and working with them as medicine.

Their will be an expectation for you to show up to at least 4 out of 5 classes live. And etiquette stated to each student for the gathering. We desire to create a safe and respectful container for learning and sharing of these intimate topics.

GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

This class is taught live each week through online webinar.  It will be recorded so you can re-listen, or catch up if you miss a session, but the beauty is that we are all gathering together and discussing topics long suffered in silence for a majority of women.  In each session there will be time for live Q&A with your teachers to clarify the information shared.  And of course, in your 1 on 1 session, you’ll each be able to choose what is right for you to practice at this time.
