Ayurveda - The Science of Self HealingIn this practical class we will explore health and healing in relationship to the five elements: air, space, fire, water and earth. These elements exist in all matter, including the body and mind. A state of health exists when the body is in balance with nature. When the natural rhythms are out of balance this can cause disturbance in the body and the disease process can begin. Ayurveda works directly with individual constitution, diet and lifestyle providing a methodology to rebalance the body. Session one will cover the background and philosophy of Ayurveda; understanding your dosha (constitution); the ayurvedic clock; cleansing and daily routine. Yoga, relaxation and meditation for your dosha will also be included. Session two will be Ayurveda in the kitchen; using food to heal; the six tastes; nutrition and seasonal eating. Light dinner will be included in both sessions.

Quilting - BargelloBargello embroidery is the inspiration for this quilting design. Several coordinated fabrics, which may be shades of one or a few fabrics, or a variety of fabrics which work together will create your unique and interesting design. This will most likely become a wall quilt. However, the size will be determined by the quilt maker. Materials needed will be discussed in the first class.
