โœจ Preparation Phase (Oct 11โ€“17): Gradual reduction of heavy foods to lighten the system.
โœจ Purification Phase (Oct 18โ€“24): Gentle cleanse using easy, nourishing seasonal meals. Includes a mini-retreat (Oct 18) for deeper practice and community support.
โœจ Rejuvenation Phase (Oct 25โ€“31): Strategic rebuilding, with guidance to carry supportive practices forward.

This is a doable, at-home process you can follow from anywhere, guided by Ayurvedic Practitioner Kara Aubin with online modules, recipes, and community support.

Evening light, golden feathers, and the quiet beauty of observation. ๐ŸŒฟ

Join experienced birder Seth Chapman for a special twilight edition of our Beginning Birding series, this time focused on the vibrant and beloved American Goldfinch.

Youโ€™ll walk away with:
โœจ Tools for identifying the American Goldfinch
โœจ New understanding of bird behavior and habitat
โœจ A deeper sense of connection with your local ecology
โœจ Time in community, and maybe even a little golden magic

Summerโ€™s pace can be exhilarating... and also depleting. Ayurveda reminds us that balance comes when we re-attune to natureโ€™s elements within and around us.

This 5-week practice series invites you back into steadiness through Yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, and the elemental teachings of Ayurveda. Together, weโ€™ll explore:

โจ€ the five great elements and how they animate body and mind
๐Ÿœ Sankhya philosophy as a foundation for Yoga + Ayurveda
๐Ÿœ‚ an individualized approach to asana that builds strength, flexibility, and ease
๐Ÿœ„ contemplative practices that quiet the mind and restore vitality
๐Ÿœƒ the support of kula: the connection and accountability of friends on the path

If youโ€™ve been craving a way to reconnect, regulate, and feel whole again after the fire of summer, this semester offers a pathway.

Join Kara in-person or online as we step into the wisdom of the elements - and into a steadier self.

As summer gives way to fall, the body asks for something different, a clearing of heat, a strengthening of essence, a return to rhythm.

Join Ayurvedic Practitioner Kara Aubin for a free info call to learn:
๐ŸŒฟ why seasonal cleansing is essential in Ayurveda
๐ŸŒฟ what makes this 21-day fall rejuvenation approach safe, nourishing, and effective
๐ŸŒฟ how this food-based cleanse builds ojas, clears excess toxins, and prepares you for the season ahead

This is not a detox.

Itโ€™s a reset. A remembering.

A re-entry into rhythm.

Youโ€™ll come out of these three weeks feeling clearer, grounded, and deeply renewed in body, mind, and spirit.

Feeling mentally frayed or emotionally overextended?

Jatamamsi is one of Ayurvedaโ€™s most revered herbal allies for the nervous system. A nutritive tonic that soothes, nourishes, and restores from deep within.

This essential oil supports:
โœจ calm in the face of overstimulation
โœจ restful, grounded sleep
โœจ clarity of perception and mental ease
โœจ a sense of rootedness when things feel scattered

Balancing for all doshas, Jatamamsi can be added to a base oil and applied topically, especially to the soles of the feet or the back of the neck before rest or meditation.

Itโ€™s one of our go-to supports for Majjฤ Dhatu and nervous system care.
