Q&A Sessions with Dr. Claudia Welch & Dr. Robert Svoboda

These sessions were recorded live with Dr. Claudia Welch & Dr. Robert Svoboda, for alumni of our “Foundations of Ayurveda Part I“, “Part II“, “The Planets: Exploring Our Relationship With Nine Archetypal Personalities” and, “Pratyāhāra: Turning Attention Within” complete courses (sorry, not for stand alone a la carte lessons). If you are not an alumnus of any of those courses, you are still welcome to listen to or share these sessions, but you may find them a bit confusing, as they relate to material covered in those courses.

We intend to offer Q&A sessions for alumni yearly, and post them here. Once you are a registered student of one of these courses, you will receive emails letting you know when live sessions are scheduled, how to join them, and be invited to submit questions on course content. We hope you find these sessions useful or interesting. Or both. Thank you for being here.
