SUMMARY:The Sun\, the Moon & the Wind: Ayurveda & the Natural World - A Workshop with Gary and Cynthia Gran
DESCRIPTION:The Sun\, the Moon & the Wind: Ayurveda & the Natural World\n  with Gary & Cynthia Gran\nSaturday\, June 29\, 2024\n10:00 a.m. – Noon CDT\nCost $25.00\nRegistration Coming Soon\nPlease join us for a deep dive into Ayurveda’s concept of our mutual relationship with the natural world. The sun\, moon and wind represent powerful external forces that have a definite effect on our health and well-being. Yet they are also powerful internal forces that can be enhanced and harmonized. \nyad brahmande tat pinde\, yat pinde tad brahmande: \n“Whatever is in the universe is in the body; \nwhatever is in the body is in the universe.” \nIn this session\, we will explore the practical aspects of: \n\nSurya Vidya\, the solar science\, from both the modern scientific and the traditional yogic points of view.\nChandra Vidya\, the lunar science including the importance of soma and ojas as refined qualities of the water element.\nPrana Vidya\, the science of the life-force\, and its role as yogavahi\, the enhancer.\nThe connection between Ayurveda and Yoga practice.\n\nAnd we will reflect on the profound connection between our inner world and the outer world. Our goal will be to move towards greater balance and harmony with Life. May all be well. May all know peace. \n“Just like the clouds move from one place to another being carried by the winds\, the other elements of the body too move from one place to the other only when carried by vayu\, the wind.” – Sarngadhara Samhita \n  \nAll are welcome for this fun and informative session\, as we share and ponder nature and the teachings of the sages together. \nGary & Cynthia Gran have been treading the Himalayan path since the late 1970s. They met at the old Glenview Center in Illinois and have served the tradition in various capacities over the years. They are both certified yoga teachers and Ayurvedic educators. They have published more than eighty articles on yoga\, meditation and Ayurveda. They enjoy desert gardening\, cooking and hiking at their home in Tucson\, Arizona\, and are currently in summer residence in Minneapolis. \nGary Gran\, MBA\, CYT\, DAy. \nCynthia Gran\, MA\, DAy.
