Day 3, is a NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET TREATMENT polarity energy healing + flowing abhyanga massage, ubtan with clay and flower petals on the back, rose clay pack on the face, plus Shiro Abhyanga / Champissage and Marma Chikitsa. Supportive of bringing stillness to the nervous system and mind, and stabilizing vata dosha to move in its normal downward direction.

Cleansing Diet

All of the vegetarian meals are designed to help your digestive system rest and release accumulated toxins.  Our protein will come from ancient grains like quinoa and the super-food kitchari, which is a combination of rice and mung beans (dal). We will also eat nourishing soups and cooked fruits and vegetables throughout the retreat. While spice combinations may vary, our diet is intentionally simple.
Please note that while we will take food allergies into consideration, we cannot accommodate eating preferences on this retreat. If you have any questions about the diet, please email the retreat leaders.

Testimonials from past retreat guests:

  • “Limina was the perfect place to dive deeply into the practice and theory of Ayurveda on a beautiful 5-day retreat. It’s no wonder this ancient system for health and wellness is catching on – and where better to absorb the lessons than on the coast of Maine at Limina where we were all pampered and loved.” ~ Peter, ME

 

  • “I knew nothing about Ayurveda when I signed up for the retreat at Limina. The weekend was truly amazing! The environment so calm, comforting, peaceful. The oil treatments were beyond words. I’ve lived on this earth for over six decades and have never experienced anything like this. I am leaving (sadly) feeling grounded, strong, light, clear and optimistic for my future. The retreat was transformative in many ways, and the food was out of this world!”  ~ Shelly, CT

 

  • “I knew nothing about Ayurveda before this weekend and was deeply fed by its multi-faceted, immersive experience. Through warm oils and loving hands, the Ayurvedic massages penetrated my being on so many levels, teasing out toxins and revealing bliss! Carollanne, Kristen, Amanda, and Melissa are extraordinary practitioners and healers who bring gifted hands and love-kindness and compassion to their offerings. Their teaching about Ayurveda and Yoga were thoughtful, passionate and informative. The meals prepared by Angela and Julie, though seemingly simple, were complex and layered, awakening taste and satisfying the senses. Libby and Bill share an easy hospitality and the feeling created by all was of welcome, comfort, and acceptance. A perfect weekend for supporting me in this massive energetic shift.” ~ Laura, ME
