Saturday, April 25, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM at the 2020 NAMA Conference, Ayurveda & Spirituality
FOUNDATIONAL TRACK - Food provides us with not only sustenance for our bodies but also the basic gunas (“qualities”) that will either disturb or promote a peaceful and happy mind while nourishing our spiritual “bodies” as well. Our panel of presenters will provide examples of these foods as well as case studies from their practice that look at food’s role in emotional and spiritual health in a real-world context.
