About this trip
A GATHERING OF AYURVEDIC PROFESSIONALS AND AYURVEDA FANS TO CELEBRATE THE SCIENCE WE ALL SO LOVE
For complete details, head to our event page here.
Fill your Ayurvedic cup with this four-day festival packed with high-level Ayurvedic workshops, Ayurvedic connections, and sattvic fun!
We’re gathering the Ayurvedic community in the “pueblo mágico” or magic town of Malinalco, Mexico; a land rich with Aztec history and its own traditional natural medicine wisdom and herbal apothecary, where tulsi and gotu kola grow in abundance.
Connect with some of your favorite (or soon-to-be new favorite!) Ayurvedic and natural medicine doctors: Dr. Jay Kodikannath, Dr. Manjusha, Dr. Prasad, Dr. Jay Parla, Dr. Anu, Kathy Jo and Dr. Kai, who will be sharing their decades of knowledge in a packed lineup of Ayurvedic workshops.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make connections and just hang out with your fellow Ayurvedic collegues, classmates, and others who follow this way of living. In this niche and tiny industry of Ayurveda, it can get a little lonely and isolating, which is why we wanted to bring us all together for an event that’s not only educational, but fun!
So pack your bag and get ready to marinate in Ayurveda in a traditional Mexican town that you’re going to adore.
