Join Starseed for this 4 day, 16-hour intensive course of study leading to a
Certificate in Ayurvedic Self-Care & Health Maintenance.

This program is intended as an introduction to Ayurveda that is both detailed as
well as of practical use to the non-health professional who wishes to take a
more responsible part in caring for his or her health. In addition, it will
serve as a basis for more advanced training for those desiring to either become
practitioners of Ayurveda or to extend their skills to care for their families.

This course is planned as the first of several course programs in Ayurveda that
will take students through intermedia te and advanced levels of proficiency and
which will train and certify students as Ayurvedic practitioners-consultants.

undertaken (including this one, which is a prerequisite for all other
intermediate, advanced and practitioner-level courses offered in the program)
