Winter’s Gift An Ayurvedic Holiday Self-Care Retreat
- Presenter: Emilie Reid
LISTEN TO YOUR OWN NEEDS
In the heart of the holiday season, step into a sanctuary of deep nourishment and renewal.
This program offers a precious opportunity to connect with the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and your spirit’s need for restoration. You’ll discover how true self-care isn’t another task to master, but a loving conversation with your own nature.
Join Kripalu faculty Emilie Reid for a weekend that nourishes your body, mind, senses, and soul through Ayurvedic cooking, self-care rituals, and guided meditation.
Together in community, you will:
- Enjoy warm, simple, yet profound Ayurvedic recipes that reset and rejuvenate body and spirit in the Kripalu demo kitchen.
- Discover the ancient ritual of abhyanga—the practice of anointing the body with warm oil—a cornerstone of self-care amidst stress and winter’s cold.
- Learn to offer yourself the gift of meditation—a tender space where you can find the rest and refreshment that your heart knows it needs.
- Develop your own personalized self-care toolkit with practices that feel sustainable and nurturing, designed to support you long after the retreat ends.
Each recipe and practice becomes a tool for self-care, a way to show up for yourself. You'll leave feeling held, nourished, and with a deeper understanding of how to listen to your own needs and respond with compassion.
NOTE: Please bring clothing appropriate for self-massage with oil—such as a tank top, shorts, shirt, or pants that can be rolled up.
