Reading the Body, Remembering the Lineage: An Ayurvedic Experience

Long before anyone called it wellness, people read the body for information. Pulse, sleep, appetite, the way you move through a season. Ayurveda is one of the traditions that carried this knowledge forward, and it has been practiced for thousands of years.

Join us for a three-hour experiential gathering led by Ateeka (Anne) Contee, LCPC, a therapist and Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Clinician who was born and raised in India and grew up within this tradition.

Hosted at Ancestors Bosom Herbal Apothecary, this experience brings Ayurvedic wisdom into conversation with the herbs, spices, and everyday rituals that surround us. You’ll explore what constitution means within Ayurveda, experience an Ayurvedic pulse reading, and discover how your constitution can deepen your understanding of what helps bring you back toward balance.

The Experience

Together, you’ll move through three phases:

LEARNING THE LANGUAGE.
Explore what Ayurveda is, what the doshas describe, and what constitution means beyond a thirty-second quiz result.

THE READING.
Experience an Ayurvedic pulse reading with Ateeka and begin mapping both the constitution you were born with and where you are sitting right now.

WHAT TO CARRY HOME.
Explore everyday rhythms, herbs, and spices through the lens of your constitution, then create a customized spice blend inspired by what you’ve learned using a curated selection of herbs and spices provided by Ancestors Bosom.

You won’t leave with simply a type to call yourself. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how your constitution may show up in your body, stress, rhythms, and daily life, along with greater confidence in recognizing what helps bring you back toward balance.

Your Experience Includes

• Three hours of Ayurvedic education and guided experience with Ateeka
• An Ayurvedic pulse reading and constitution mapping
