Seasonal self-care

Seasonal living is a powerful way for us to reclaim a relationship with ourselves and the world around us. It reminds us that we aren't separate to, but an integral part  of nature.

Beyond just knowing there are seasons, learning to attune our lifestyle and self-care practices to them, gives us an opportunity to create more vitality, well-being, balance and joy in our lives.

Seasonal Self-Care +  Nature Connection is a series of events that will focus on helping you get to know your body and our local seasons better, as well as how you can care for yourself simply and naturally.  We'll draw from many wisdom traditions and weave together an eclectic mix of skills and knowledge as a community.

Ayurvedic Self-Care for Winter

Everyone loved the learning about Ayurvedic self-care with Wayne Celeban from Yukti Botanicals, so we've invited him back. He'll dive deep into winter from the ancient Ayurvedic perspective and guide us in ways we can care for ourselves - mind/body/soul.

We'll also explore what winter actually looks like here, on the Sunshine Coast, far removed from the stereotypical 'snowy winter' that many Seasonal living books talk about.

Wayne's knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for Ayurveda is encyclopedic, so come with questions and expect fascinating detours through Ayurvedic philosophy - all thought-provoking and relevant to our modern life.

Wednesday June 15, 6 - 8pm | $60
CWA Hall, 11 Stevens St Yandina.

Seasonal living gives us the opportunity to be "more aware of ourselves, more fully who we are as human beings"
