Come back to yourself.
The wisdom of Āyurveda is already within you.
Our monthly gatherings are where you come to live it.
Whether you're just beginning
or deepening your path,
you belong here.
Maybe you've studied Āyurveda for years. Maybe you felt a pull toward it and aren't sure where to start. Either way, this is a place to arrive exactly as you are.
Our monthly Āyurveda Gatherings offer a warm, accessible entry into ancient self-healing wisdom — held in community, grounded in practice, and designed to meet you wherever you are on the journey. Drop in when the season calls you. Stay as long as you like.
Restore your health, honor the seasons, and return to the wisdom of your inner healer.

Pacifying Vata with Oil, Heat & the Art of Abhyanga (Oil Massage)
Ayurvedic Self-Massage Workshop | Live on Zoom | Recording available
October 19, 2026 | 6:00pm - 7:15pm (MST)
Join us for a 75-minute Living Rituals gathering devoted to Snehana and Svedana, the Ayurvedic practices of oiling and therapeutic warmth.
As we move deeper into autumn, the qualities of Vata become increasingly present in the natural world: coolness, dryness, lightness, movement, and change. Ayurveda teaches us to meet these qualities with their opposites: warmth, nourishment, unctuousness, steadiness, and rest.
Few practices embody this wisdom as beautifully as Abhyanga, the traditional Ayurvedic practice of warm oil self-massage.
In this gathering, we will explore the principles of Snehana, or oleation, and Svedana, the use of therapeutic warmth and sweating. You will learn why these practices have been used traditionally in Ayurveda to nourish the tissues, support circulation and elimination, calm Vata, and prepare the body for deeper cleansing and rejuvenation.
Together, we will explore:
The Ayurvedic principles of Snehana and Svedana
The role of oiling and warmth in balancing Vata
The traditional benefits and purpose of Abhyanga
How Abhyanga relates to circulation and the lymphatic system
How to choose and warm your oil
When and how often to practice Abhyanga
Proper direction, pressure, and technique for self-massage
How to incorporate gentle heat or sweating after oiling
How to turn Abhyanga into a sustainable home ritual
Most importantly, we will practice together.
You will be guided step-by-step through a traditional at-home Abhyanga practice so that you leave knowing how to confidently perform your own self-massage rather than simply hearing about its benefits.
In Sanskrit, sneha carries meanings associated with both oil and affection. This offers us a beautiful way of understanding the practice: oiling the body is not simply another wellness task to complete. It is a practice of tending, nourishing, and creating a sense of steadiness within the body.
As the season becomes colder and drier, Abhyanga gives us a tangible way to cultivate the qualities we may be needing most:
Warmth.
Nourishment.
Slowness.
Grounding.
Touch.
We will also look at the lymphatic system and the relationship between movement, massage, circulation, and the body's natural processes of fluid transport and waste removal, while distinguishing modern physiological explanations from the traditional Ayurvedic understanding of Abhyanga.
You are invited to arrive with your oil and practice alongside us. Wear something comfortable, create a warm space where you can sit or stand, and have an old towel nearby.
By the end of our gathering, you will have a practical at-home Abhyanga ritual you can return to throughout autumn and winter.
This is a practice you can carry with you for life.
Tiered options allow those with greater financial ease to support access for others:
Snehana + Svedana: Oil, Heat & Abhyanga (Oil Massage)
Join us for a hands-on Ayurvedic workshop exploring Snehana and Svedana, the practices of oiling and therapeutic warmth. We’ll learn the benefits of Abhyanga, its relationship to circulation and the lymphatic system, and how oil and warmth help nourish the body, calm Vata, and support us through the cooler seasons. Together, we’ll practice a guided self-Abhyanga and learn proper techniques you can confidently bring into your home routine. Live on Zoom with recording available.
Every gathering is a complete ritual unto itself.
Each month we gather around a theme drawn from the Āyurvedic calendar, aligning with the season, the dosha landscape, and what our collective bodies need most. No two gatherings are the same.
You can attend one. You can attend all. Each time you arrive, you belong.
