SUMMARY:Meditation as Medicine: 10 Weeks of Ayurvedic Therapeutic Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the Healing Power of Meditation!\nAre you ready to discover the healing potential of Meditation in your life or to deepen your already existent practice?\nJoin us for Meditation as Medicine\, a powerful 10-week online program study where Meditation is honored and explored as a gift to restore balance\, calm the mind\, and nurture your psychological and emotional health through the power of Dhyana—True Meditation. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Meditation & Ayurveda\, this program will guide you through simple yet profound Meditations tailored to improve mental well-being while bringing depth of clarity and peace. Grounded in the understanding that mental health (Manasa Svastha) is just as crucial as the health of the body and spirit\, this program will guide you through classical Meditations designed to foster mental and emotional healing. \nWhat is Meditation as Medicine?\nAyurveda has long recognized the mind’s vital role in our overall health. For thousands of years\, Ayurveda has acknowledged that mental health is as integral as physical health and that the balance of the mind\, body\, and spirit is essential to holistic well-being. This interconnectedness is the very foundation of Manasa Svastha\, the Ayurvedic approach to mental wellness. In Ayurveda\, maintaining mental health is not optional—it’s as fundamental as caring for the body. \nThe ancient texts of Ayurveda emphasize that mental health issues—referred to as Manasa Roga—can be as\, or more\, disruptive then physical ailments\, and that healing the mind requires and responds to specific\, medicinal treatments spanning from diet to lifestyle\, herbal medicines to five-sense therapies\, Ayurvedic psychotherapy to spiritual counseling and practices. Meditation\, as outlined in Ayurvedic Chikitsa (treatment protocols)\, is one of the primary tools used to heal and stabilize the mind\, serving as a direct intervention for restoring balance to our mental state. \nIn this program\, Dhyana (True Meditation) serves as the core therapeutic measure. Each week\, you will practice meditation techniques rooted in Ayurveda\, Yoga\, and Advaita Vedanta intended to nourish and heal. This will be a profound exploration into our own inner landscape and give you the empowered tools to witness the power of Meditation as Medicine within your own life. \nHow It Works\nOver the course of 10 weeks\, you’ll engage in a simple\, daily practice of 15-minute meditations\, designed to bring balance and healing to your mind. Each week\, you’ll be introduced to a new practice by recorded video (sent to your email)\, slowly building on the previous techniques to create a powerful and sustainable Meditation Sadhana. \n10 Weeks of Guided Meditations w/ Tiffany: Short\, 15-minute video recorded sessions sent to your email at the beginning of each week to be followed daily. \nLifetime Access to the Recordings!: These Meditations will be yours to use and return to at any moment! \nA Survey of Mental Health & Well-Being: A short questionnaire will be sent out to each participant before beginning the 10 weeks\, at the midpoint and after completion (these will be used to further research in the field of Meditation as both a preventative and curative medicine in the field of Ayurvedic mental health treatments) \n  \nWho is This Program For?\nThis program is for anyone (18+) seeking to improve their mental health (all of us!)\, find peace\, and cultivate emotional resilience. If you’re dealing with stressors\, anxiety\, etc. or just want to incorporate a deeper sense of balance into your life\, this program is for you. \nWe welcome you to strongly commit to this program to truly see the benefits of 10 consistent weeks of daily Sadhana. Let’s Go! \nThe present study is not open to those with diagnosed severe psychiatric conditions or on psychiatric medications (please write us if clarification required).\n\nRegister FOR FREE Now!

SUMMARY:Stepping into Silence: 3-Day Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Stepping into Silence – 3-Day Meditation Retreat\nThis retreat is a unique 3-day immersion experience that focuses on accessing our real and essential nature\, our highest Self\, through a balanced integration of Inquiry\, Meditation and Vichara Yoga. This retreat is intended to reveal our pure\, true\, boundless nature\, and to allow that recognition to be a foundational and unchanged seeing. This is not intended as a momentary experience\, or a restful weekend\, but rather an invitation to Be as you truly are and to know that undoubtedly. \nThe retreat aims to create an experience similar to that of a solitary retreat\, in order to provide you with an opportunity to rest with yourself\, to give space for powerful inner reflection and to create a sense of internalization\, allowing for a blossoming of the Heart and Truth. The teachings will be a unique integration of Advaita Vedânta infused into seated and walking meditation\, yoga and contemplative talks. Participants will be lovingly guided and introduced to various self-inquiry pointings and inspired to integrate these into their lives to continue to reveal and get acquainted with the truth that emerges from within oneself. \nThis retreat will be guided by Tiffany\, who has spent her adult life immersed in self-inquiry\, silent retreats\, and with her own master teachers. Due to her own profound experiences and the insights gained through retreat periods of silence and self-reflection\, she is inspired to offer these revelatory silent retreats worldwide\, which have opened many peoples’ hearts to the joy of being. \n  \nRETREAT SCHEDULE:\n~ March 17-20\, 2022 ~\n  \nThursday-Sunday:\nThursday: \n6 pm – Arrival and Welcome\n7-8 pm – Dinner & Lose Ends\n8-8:40 pm – Meditation \nFriday-Saturday: \n6:30-7:10 am – Meditation\n7:20-8 am – Meditation\n8:10-9:20 am – Yoga / Personal Sadhana\n9:30-10:30 am – Breakfast\n10:30-11 am – Talk\n11-11:40 am – Meditation\n11:50-12:30 pm – Meditation\n1-3 pm – Lunch + Contemplative Break\n3-3:40 pm – Meditation\n3:50-4:30 pm – Meditation\n4:50-6 pm – Yoga / Personal Sadhana\n6-7 pm – Dinner\n7-8 pm – Questions\n8-8:40 pm – Meditation \nSunday: \n6:30-7:10 am – Meditation\n7:20-8 am – Meditation\n8-9:30 am – Yoga\n9:30-10:30 am – Breakfast\n10:30-11 am – Talk\n11-11:40 am – Meditation\n11:50-12:30 pm – Meditation\n12:30-1:30 pm – Closing + Sharing\n1:30 pm – Lunch + Departure \nNo previous meditation or yoga experience is necessary at all. \nNo experience in anything is necessary at all. \nCome as You Are. \n  \n“Look here and know who you are.  \nInstantly you will find freedom\, and this suffering will instantly stop.  \nThe only way is to look within.” \n– Papaji \n
