Ayurvedic Cooking Class: Kitchari

Moretown, VT

What is “kitchari”? This simple dish made from mung beans and rice is an ancient and healing combination.  Eaten at times when the immune system is compromised or for special seasonal cleansing purposes, kitchari is a holy food.  You can think of kitchari as the Ayurvedic (and vegetarian!) equivalent to chicken noodle soup.  Nourishing for mind, body and soul, kitchari kicks up the metabolism and immune system.

There are many ways to make kitchari, and we will explore a few of them.   If you’re looking for a simple and wholesome meal to prepare for yourself and your family, or interested in learning why and how Ayurveda uses food for healing, learning how to make kitchari will empower you.

Come and share a meal made with local vegetables and organic ingredients, and learn to make this dish hands-on in Moretown, VT (private address, provided upon registration.)  We will discuss Ayurvedic eating practices in relation to health and healing.

Please register in advance by email adena@adenaroseayurveda.com ~ Cost is $25, pay cash or check day of class.

If you have ever self-diagnosed IBS, kitchari should be in your arsenal!

All are welcome ~ no cooking or experience with Ayurveda necessary!

Cooking for Health: Kitchari Thursday November 29, 5 – 7 p.m.
Learn to Cook ~ Share a Meal ~ Make Friends ~ Nourish Yourself

What is “kitchari”? This simple dish made from mung beans and rice is an ancient and healthy combination.  Ayurveda, a holistic philosophy, suggests eating kitchari at times when the immune system is compromised and for special seasonal ‘cleansing’ purposes.  In Ayurveda, kitchari is considered a holy food.  One can think of kitchari as the Ayurvedic (and vegetarian!) equivalent to chicken noodle soup.  Nourishing for mind, body and soul, it is said kitchari can kick up the metabolism and benefit the immune system.

There are many ways to make kitchari, and we will explore a few of them.   If you’re looking for a simple and wholesome meal to prepare for yourself and your family, or interested in learning why and how the practice of Ayurveda uses food for health, then learning how to make kitchari can empower you.

Come and share a meal made with local vegetables and organic ingredients, and learn to make this dish hands-on in the kitchen at Dharma Door Retreat in Underhill.  We will discuss Ayurvedic eating practices in relation to health.

Sliding Scale – $25 to $15, pay what you can

The Complementary and Alternative Medicine Student Interest Group would like to welcome you to:

An Overview of Ayurveda, the Ancient Healing Practice

with Adena Harford

Thursday, November 10th, 2011 noon – 1pm

Med Ed 201 – UVM College of Medicine

About Adena:
Adena has studied at the Kripalu School of Ayurveda in Lenox, MA, under many influential teachers including Dr. Robert Svoboda, Dr. Claudia Welch, Dr. Scott Blossom, and Dr. Vasant Lad.  She has been practicing yoga for 7 years and teaching for 3, in the Ashtanga tradition and is currently the yoga instructor for the College of Medicine.  She currently works at the Ayurvedic Center of Vermont, and performs Ayurvedic body work out of her home office.

About Ayurveda:

“One who is established in Self, who has balanced doshas, balanced agni, properly formed dhatus, proper elimination of malas, well-functioning bodily processes and whose mind, soul and senses are full of bliss, is called a healthy person.”

Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine to come out of India.  Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth are elements present within our bodies and the cosmos.  They can either be in balance or out of balance – each of us has our own state of health.  Every disease or disorder (even if it does not have a name or fit a specific category in Western medicine) has certain qualities and symptoms which show us what element is out of balance. Through diet and small changes to our daily lifestyle and routine, Ayurveda helps us bring mind and body back into balance.  Herbal remedies and yoga practices are also often utilized.

I will discuss very briefly an overview of the 5 elements and how they manifest.  I will then talk about the Ayurvedic perspective of cause of disease, touch on the 8 diagnostic tools utilized to find the cause of disease, and mention the three main categories of treatment in Ayurveda.
