An Afternoon with Dr. Pratima Raichur and Divya Alter
Sunday, June 7
In-Person Event at Divya’s Homebase in New York City
Some people teach Ayurveda through information. Others transmit it simply through their presence.
Dr. Pratima is one of those rare souls.
She is one of the pioneers who helped bring Ayurveda to the United States decades ago and has also been one of my most beloved teachers. For many years, she has loved and guided me with the tenderness of a mother and the wisdom of a sage. At 86 years old, she continues to radiate beauty, softness, strength, and grace in a way that deeply touches everyone around her.
This intimate afternoon gathering will explore beauty, nourishment, aging with grace, digestion, self-care, and inner radiance through conversation, reflection, life wisdom, skincare tips and testing, and heartfelt community connection. It is also an opportunity to receive the subtle blessings that naturally arise from spending time in the presence of someone who has dedicated her life to healing, beauty, and conscious living.
More than anything, this event is a rare opportunity to simply slow down, listen, reflect, and spend time in the company of an extraordinary soul.
A 2-Part Online Workshop with Dr. Nambi Namboodiri and Divya Alter
Many people have heard of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha… but few truly understand what the doshas actually feel like in the body, mind, emotions, digestion, energy, and daily life.
Dr. Nambi is one of my Ayurveda teachers and also a dear friend whose rare intuition and observation skills—combined with exceptional communication, warmth, and humor—make Ayurveda come alive in a deeply practical and accessible way.
Together, we’ll explore how to recognize doshic patterns within ourselves, how to identify different levels of imbalance, and how food and lifestyle can gently guide us back toward balance. Rather than relying on someone else to tell you “what dosha you are,” you will develop a more direct and intuitive understanding of your own body, mind, and changing needs.
This workshop is designed to help you move beyond theory and begin developing a more intimate relationship with your own body, mind, and inner signals.
