With Dr. Sunyata Shyam, PhD and Jaya Yogini

June 5 - 7, 2026

Every living being on Earth has a diet nature intended for it. A lion eats meat. A cow eats grass. A hummingbird drinks nectar.

With Jaya Yogini

October 9 - 15, 2026

Long before “wellness” became a product, women lived close to the Earth, to each other, and to the sacred. They gathered to chant, to cleanse, to strengthen, to serve, to remember.
