The 20 guṇas, or qualities, of Ayurveda provide a foundation for understanding and describing the world–including food, herbs, substances, emotions, mental states and, indeed anything that exists. They provide language for understanding how to diagnose and treat physical, emotional or mental disequilibrium. In this workshop we will explore each guṇa, taste its secrets and intricacies and how we might use the guṇas to great benefit.
