What is Primordial Sound Meditation?
Practiced for thousands of years, meditation is a tool for rediscovering the body’s own inner intelligence. It’s not about forcing the mind to be quiet, it’s finding the silence that’s already there and making it a part of your life.
Primordial Sound Meditation is a meditation technique originating in the ancient wisdom of India. Primordial Sounds—the basic, most essential sounds of nature—are used to disconnect us from the activity of life. In meditation we enter a state of stillness and silence in order to reawaken balance, tranquility and compassion within.
Silence is the birthplace of happiness, creativity and infinite possibilities. From this field of pure potentiality, we get our bursts of inspiration, our most intuitive thoughts, and our deepest sense of connection to the Universe. Practicing meditation daily allows you to weave silence and stillness into your mind and body to create a life of greater compassion and fulfillment. Meditation is a journey to the center of our very being; a journey to emotional freedom; and a journey to the reawakening of our unconditioned self.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels of meditators who want to explore a more spiritual side of their meditation practice.
Discover the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda
Join us for an enlightening 90-minute workshop on Ayurveda, the "science of life." This ancient holistic medical system, originating in India over 5,000 years ago, offers profound insights into achieving health and wellness by balancing the mind, body, and spirit.
Ayurveda's timeless wisdom comes from the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of India. It teaches us to live in harmony with nature and use natural remedies, such as herbs and dietary adjustments, to maintain health and prevent disease. Central to Ayurveda are the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which govern our physiological and psychological functions.
This workshop will explore how Dosha principles can be applied in our modern lives, providing a holistic approach to health and well-being that remains relevant today. Participants will take an assessment to discover their Dosha and receive take home materials to help them cultivate a healthy lifestyle based on their Dosha type.
Instruction in mudras based on Dosha types will be provided and the workshop will culminate in a 30 minute group meditation.
