temple of self love
a women’s ritual of ayurvedic Self-anointing
There is a kind of medicine that cannot be swallowed.
It must be FELT THROUGH THE SKIN
In the Ayurvedic tradition, the ritual of abhyanga—the practice of anointing the body with warm oil—is considered one of the most profound acts of self-care. Oil nourishes the tissues, calms the nervous system, supports longevity, and restores the subtle relationship between body, mind, and spirit.
But beyond its physiological benefits, abhyanga is also a ritual of devotion.
A moment to slow down.
To return to the body.
To remember that your own touch can be a source of comfort, warmth, and nourishment.
Together, from the comfort of your own home, we will enter a gentle ritual space where the body becomes the altar and oil the medicine.
This is not a class, it is a space to restore your relationship with your body, soothe the nervous system, and remember that nourishment can be simple.
No prior experience with Ayurveda or embodiment practices is necessary.
Just bring oil, a couple of towels, and a willingness to be with you.
The evening unfolds in two parts:
Opening Circle (Video)
We begin together on camera with a short orientation. You will learn the foundations of Ayurvedic self-oiling, receive guidance on technique, and have space to ask questions before entering the practice.
The Self-Anointing Ritual (Audio-Guided)
Then we transition to audio only. This allows each woman to enter her own private space, guided by voice and music while anointing with warm oil. There will be guidance and somatic invitations on how to apply oil in a way that nourishes the tissues and supports the nervous system, including strokes and direction.
