How do we function day to day in the world we find ourselves in right now? How do we find balance, equanimity? Ancient and not so ancient people have explored this question of how to live. We’ll explore and experience Elemental theory from the perspective of Ayurveda and the ways our senses can bring us, well, back to our senses. It’s very sensible!
