Ayurveda 101
(no charge) - An introduction to the ancient philosophy and foundations of Ayurvedic medicine. You will learn how the meals you are eating while on retreat are lovingly designed to nourish, rebalance and heal. The word Ayurveda comes from two Sanskrit words: Ayur meaning life, and Veda meaning knowledge or science. Yuri will share how this ancient wisdom can guide you into greater health and harmony with nature and the seasons of your life. You’ll learn—and experience—how food can be medicine for the body and soul.
Class typically lasts 30 minutes.
Body Balance Session ($175)
We’ll identify what’s out of balance and design a plan to restore balance, nourish your body and support your journey on the physical plane. Think of it as a diagnostic session for your body in which you will leave with the clarity and insight to attune yourself with the healing powers of nature. Natural balance is brought about by aligning the doshas (the regulating energies) This will support your journey and health through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. Restore balance, support the body and nourish the soul.
Sessions run 60 - 90 minutes.
Soul Session / Shamanic Soul Session ($175)
We’ll work together in an intimate, shamanic way to discover and release hidden patterns and energetic blocks so you can live from your authentic self. In shamanic work we are tending to the unseen realm and the sacred. This work will vary depending on the individual and can include limpias, illuminations, de-couplings, and soul retrievals. We will journey to the deepest levels of your being to effect true change. I may also help design and perform rituals that honor the transformations your soul is calling for. Release hidden patterns and blocks and live from your authentic self.
Sessions run 60 - 90 minutes.
Body and Soul Package ($350)
Over the course of two sessions (1 Body Session and 1 Soul Session) I’ll weave together my indigenous shamanic lineage and the ancestral wisdom of Ayurveda to serve and support your personal journey. Body and soul are not two separate realms but one. When we apply both of these holistic, nature-based approaches together, their power and effectiveness is amplified. Receive in-depth support, guidance and encouragement for your unfolding journey.
Cacao Ceremony
Cacao runs in my blood and I am proud to be one of her many daughters, sharing her medicine so we may remember the ways of our heart. Like the cacao tree itself, the tree of my own ancestors also rises out of the fertile grounds of Oaxaca, Acapulco Guerrero and Veracruz in Mexico. In my tradition it’s believed that when you pray for others, your prayers are heard even louder because you are sharing your compassion with one another. Together in ceremony we’ll share the “Drink of the Gods” so that Cacao may plant seeds of compassion in our hearts and help us heal together. I prepare the drink in a special clay pot in the sacred tradition and carefully infuse the cacao with other medicinal herbs that will support the season and our specific intention.
Connect with Cacao and listen to the voice of your heart.
Fire Ceremony
Fire burns away old stories and gives us a chance to forge a new path. Fire is an ancient medicine that connects us with our ancestors and calls on the energies of purification and transformation. While fire ceremonies may be held anytime, they are especially potent when done during the new moon, full moon, winter solstice, summer solstice or any other time when the veil between worlds is thin. I open this sacred space by “calling in” the four directions. We will feed special offerings prepared for the occasion to the fire to help us let go of whatever no longer serves us. After releasing, we will close with music and celebration.
Honor Spirit and our ancestors and step into the cleansing fires of change.
