Healing with Ayurveda & the right food What we eat becomes part of our body. Therefore it is almost shocking how little the western world pays attention to food. Ayurveda practices healing through food and massage. Everything we consume becomes part of our body and part of us, whether it is food, oils on our skin, the air we breath, the sounds and vibes around us, etc. On this retreat we will learn about the right use of food and receive nourishing Ecuadorian meals to test and experience the teachings also through our eating habits.
