Svastha & Sukha: Cultivating Wholeness and Joy Through Vedic Wisdom
with Dr. Ramakumar and Durga Leela, E-RYT 500
May 15 - 17, 2026
Join Dr. Ramkumar Kutty, founder of Vaidyagram Ayurveda Healing Village, and Durga Leela, founder of Yoga of Recovery, for a transformative retreat at Yogaville Ashram, May 15–17, 2026.
Together, we will explore the profound concepts of Svastha (dynamic health) and Sukha (deep, abiding ease and contentment). The path to both Svastha and Sukha involves shifting from the isolated “I” to the connected We space, nurturing healing through community and collective harmony.
Dive into timeless Vedic teachings, including
- Understanding how time and environment shape health and healing.
- How learning to care for and manage yourself with awareness, gradually brings the capacity to support and participate in sustainable community.
- Understand traditional lineage in a modern context.
- Discover the Pancha Yagnas, the five sacred rituals that sustain life and society.
- Embrace Karma Yoga as a path for self-development, ego and heart purification, as well as skillful adaptation and resilience
This retreat offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking deeper connection, healing, and leadership within themselves and their communities.
