MARISA'S ADVENTURES IN INDIA

Marisa recently returned from an amazing, life-changing journey to Kerala, India - the birthplace of Ayurveda. She was awarded a scholarship trip to Rasa Ayurveda, a traditional Ayurvedic healing retreat center. She was one of eight women awarded this special scholarship trip, and the trip became an adventure of healing, medicine-making, plant wisdom, cultural awareness, inner reflection – and, ultimately, a transformative journey into her heart and soul…

Marisa enthusiastically documented each step of the way, and wishes to share her journal with others, so that they too may experience a glimpse into the culture of India and the richness of Ayurveda…
