here we are

Day 1 You will arrive by noon to settle in and be welcomed by Daya & Anjali and a traditional Andean ceremony called Despacho. We will enjoy our first light and healthy dinner, followed by some intention setting and bonding time.

Day 2 We begin and end the day with the theme of grounding. Group sessions will feature pranayama, meditation, an introduction to Ayurveda & self care, and partner Thai massage with a focus on feet and legs.

Day 3 Our cleansing begins with a refreshing light breakfast and a morning hike in one of nature's treasures, Kinsa cocha, high in the Andes. We will receive the medicine of pure natural elements, sky, earth, and waters, pausing to connect with our prayers. Lunch will be an Ayurvedic classic of kitchari and vegetables. We will continue to drop in, 4-6 pm with thai massage of the feet and legs, moving into belly.

Day 4

A day rich with Ayurveda and Yoga, Anjali will introduce us to pranayama, the Ayurvedic practice of herbal nasal oiling. We will learn the Ayurvedic concepts of Agni (transformation, digestion, metabolism), and Ama (toxins). We will learn techniques of self massage with oil, followed by a temezcal, sweat lodge ceremony. There will be plenty of time to rest or roam on this day. You may like to visit the local ruins or town market. The evening will feature kirtan, the yoga of devotion through song.

Day 5

We will continue cleansing through pranayama, yoga, and meditation and a light Ayurvedic breakfast of simple rice porridge (fasting food) called kanji. 

We will review the 6 tastes of Ayurveda, food by Dosha, and make lunch together.

The evening will feature sound healing & yoga nidra 

Day 6

We start again with pranayama, meditation, and light breakfast. Then we will sink into our mid morning session of thai massage for the arm, neck, and face with Daya followed by a relaxing ear oiling session with Anjali.

In our evening session, we will solidify and bring together much of what we have learned during this retreat, talking about daily rhythms of self care, personalising it by getting to know our constitutions and considerations, and make some commitments to our lives at home.

Day 7  

Following a light breakfast, we will have a closing circle.

There will be an optional package following the retreat to journey inward through an Ayahuasca ceremony and outward with a trip to Machu Picchu. These are optional additions. Inquire at the time of registration.
