A Day of Ayurveda – Practice and Theory
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food: all diseases begin in the gut.” – Hippocrates
The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda teaches that wellness begins with good digestion. When signs of indigestion are apparent, we can reverse them before they compound through the six levels of imbalance, which can lead to irreversible conditions. This applies specifically to food and to our mental digestion of experience. Ayurveda teaches that honouring our unique pattern of energies (air/fire/water) is the key to a balanced life. If your diet, lifestyle and mind lead you to excess or deficiency, it is good to recognise that and start removing the causes.
Following on from the incredibly popular “Wisdom of Life”, “Wisdom of Elements” and “Wisdom of Self-Care” events, we are delighted to again have Meta Doherty join us to bring her wealth of knowledge through “The Wisdom of Abiding in Wellness – A Day of Ayurveda’ incorporating yoga, breathing, meditation, chanting, cooking and a discussion on recommendations for abiding wellness with some actual practices.
If you have attended any of our Ayurveda events, or if you are a first-timer, you are invited to join Meta and cultivate delight in Ayurveda through yoga, hands-on cooking and wellness practices.
Thousands of years before modern medicine provided scientific evidence for the mind-body connection, the sages of India developed Ayurveda, which continues to be one of the world’s most sophisticated and powerful mind-body health systems.
More than a mere system of treating illness, Ayurveda is a science of life (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realising their full human potential.
With a variety of experiential practices, you will have first-hand knowledge of why – by doing.
During this nourishing day we will:
- Begin exploring ways to make wellness part of our daily routine with a luxurious yoga session.
- Enjoy an Ayurveda snack and a cuppa, getting to know each other.
- Prepare, cook and savour a delicious vegan, gluten-free lunch which will be balancing and respect the energies of the season.
- The afternoon will continue with Meta sharing recommendations and actual practices on how it is easier to stay well than to get well.
- Our day of restoring balance and abundant wellness teachings will end with some time and space to explore Questions and Answers and another Ayurveda snack and cuppa.
Meta Doherty is an IYTA (Australia) Yoga Teacher, Ayurveda Lifestyle Consultant and author of two books – Sattwa Café and Ayurvedic Forever Wellbeing, A Treasury of Holistic Recommendations. Over the past 20 years, Meta has lived and celebrated the exquisite nature of these traditional teachings, which are applicable to everyone.

Heart-opening Gatherings where Ancient Wisdom Greets the Modern
Circles of Inspiration are brought to you as heart-opening gatherings that lift your spirit and bring clarity, understanding and meaning to us as women.
This space calls for women who want to claim all of her glory not just in a rational cognitive thinking way, but instead a genuine experience of what it means to be woman.
Each Circle of Inspiration is a respectful place where ancient wisdom greets modern day life.
Whether the opportunity of gathering in a women’s circle is new for you or you are a frequent visitor, all are welcomed here. There is nothing you have to get, no prior learning required, no competency achieved.
Women’s Circles belong to all women.
When women are seen, heard, and held by other women, insecurities, wounds, jealousies; and competition dissolves, authentic connections rise and deep friendships are cultivated!
Many women find it challenging to access their inner wisdom because of the noise of the modern world and being everything to everyone mutes her internal voice. But when we join in a circle and sit with the quiet moments, vibrating gently with the mystery of our essential nature, our true radiant self comes out to play.
We all meet as equals in a sacred, safe and welcoming space that holds the fabric of the feminine. Love, pain, yearning, heartache, fear, dreams, joy, despair, compassion, creativity, denial, truth, betrayal, intuition, power, happiness, vulnerability, selflessness, inspiration, clarity, achievement.
Nothing to do, nothing to prove and no-one to look after.
This space calls for women that are thirsty for genuine connection, clarity, purpose, enthusiasm, fulfilment, inspiration and self-empowered living.
We all meet as equals creating a safe and welcoming space.
Women have been gathering in sacred circle for eons, they come together to share their joys and sorrows and make sense of their jumbled experiences.
So, what happens?
On arrival you will be welcomed and gorgeous organic beverages are served for your enjoyment. Women gather in circle in The Mandala Room and the sacredness begins.
About the circle
The circle has particular guidelines that contain the mystery and safety of the space. These will be shared with you at the first circle however to support your understanding, we have listed some below.
Vida Carlino describes herself as a straight shooter with a big heart and lives in Perth Hills with her soul mate (her husband). Having grown up children and 9 grandchildren life is a hoot, filled with ecstatic highs, soulful moments, joyous experiences, tragic events and deep feelings – which all help to make life extraordinary.
Vida is a Published Author, Speaker and Leader in conscious evolution, inspirational mindfulness and authentic accountability. She is a social entrepreneur, founder of Inspiration Source and author of “My Power Statement”.
By integrating ancient wisdom practices in sacred union with the neuro contemporary techniques Vida aligns intellectual, emotional and intuitive intelligence so we can feel, think and act in ways that consciously shape today and tomorrow. Vida strives to inspire everyone to live a more enriched, fulfilling and conscious life.
Vida runs a successful coaching business and one of her absolute passions is creating the space for women to gather in sacred circle. She has been holding women’s circles for many years and loves the opportunity to help women tune in and get to know themselves at the deepest level.
We are delighted to have Vida as part of our team of facilitators here at The Sound Temple and look forward to her sharing her gifts with us all. Her key workshops here are The Feminine Way and Circles of Inspiration.
Here are some beautiful words which women have had to say about their experience with Vida ….
Vida opens a gorgeous space of acceptance and invites us just ‘to be’. I love her ceremonial introduction and the ambiance she so carefully creates to make us feel welcome. There is something so deeply earnest and wise about Vida and the space she creates to make us feel comfortable is so relaxing. I felt at ease and able to be vulnerable and share and in turn it was beautiful to be able to sit, listen and be in the moment of other’s sharing. Vida’s circles encompass so much honoring, love and depth -she facilitates us all getting to know ourselves deeply.
Thank you so much Vida!!
Louise
I had not attended a sacred circle for a long time and whilst sitting in the space I felt a rigid resistance to listen and feel within myself. The words of the other women ignited my inner flame, melting and softening the hard container I had buried many of my emotions in. I felt a sense of relief and clarity to speak what I had hidden and denied. Thank you for a lovely reminder of how liberating and enlivening it is to sit in circle with other women.
Colette
What sitting in a circle with other amazing ladies means to me is so hard to describe. It is one of the only places I can go where I feel truly, validated and heard, and no one “fixes” me! It’s a place I go to listen and accept others while feeling the meaning in my body. I’m learning to tap back into my feminine nature and embrace my true self. I’m truly grateful to Vida for creating this space. It’s changed the way I travel life and my life feels fuller and richer for it.”
Claire
I was initially drawn to The women’s circles because I felt curious and wanted to experience something deeper. I knew that with Vida Carlino, it would be a safe place, connecting with other women on a journey, seeking to awaken new possibilities. I highly recommend this for all women. It is a wonderful chance to be still and relax into something beyond the every day. I love these experiences, and they give me clarity and grounding that is hard to put into words. It is wonderful to embrace intentions of joy, love, acceptance, connection and peace wrapping around me. It translates to a real sense of spiritual calm. Thanks, Vida.
I am looking forward to more…

Do you have a yearning to connect with your Heart & Soul, to live the life you came here for? If you find yourself asking this question, then the NEW MOON experience at The Sound Temple could be the answer.
It is a Soul Musicality Sound Healing session incorporating vocal, dream harp, crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, Corinthian tubular bells and orchestral grade chimes that embraces, awakens and assists the healing of your body, mind and soul and connects you more deeply to your Divine Self. It will lift your vibrations to a higher level, re-activating the cellular memory deep within you, allowing your ancient knowledge to gently unfold and reveal your true potential, presenting your talents and gifts to the world. It’s a calling Home to the Beloved within.
Some of the beautiful sensations you will experience are deep relaxation, support and nourishment of your body and soul as the sound healing aligns your chakras and serves with love your own focused intentions and needs. The Sound Healing recalibrates your body, plumping up the cells.
Through angelic guidance our wonderful facilitator, Kim Echammaal Coull, will evoke your very own Heart Song. This is a healing gift to soothe the soul and awaken your consciousness to the eternity of your True Being. Kim will also spend time at the end of the session conducting a one-card reading with you if you wish.
The NEW MOON is a time to plant your seeds of desire which are usually seen coming to fruition by the next Full Moon. In our New Moon sound healing sessions each month we take time to ask ourselves what we deeply desire and to set our intentions for them to manifest.

Common Threads Woven through Community
HANDS ON WORKSHOP
Have you ever wanted to make something gorgeous to use in a meaningful way around your home? Create something that you absolutely love?
Something to keep your house warm during winter or a welcome splash of colour to brighten a room? Do you have some fabric or clothing that you can’t wait to use for a project?
Join Leisa Antonio at this hands-on workshop where you will create your very own gorgeous individual eco-friendly rag rug made with love.
You will be taken on a journey being introduced to various forms of plaiting and design. The next step will be bringing your personal creation together with being shown how to hand stitch your coils into a beautiful, functional rag rug.
This workshop suits the Common Threads Woven Through Community Programme due to the elements of ‘slowing down fast fashion’ and incorporating repurposed textiles, natural fibres including sisal, twine, wools and yarns into something you will be proud of.
Leisa will share this ancient art of rag rug making with you which has gone from a practical necessity during the 1930’s to a deeply satisfying slow art in the 2020’s!
The process of plaiting & hand stitching is deeply relaxing and inspiring.
Join this four hour meditative practice of coil and slow stitch and connect with a group of others as you immerse yourself into designing and creating your very own unique functional or decorative masterpiece!
Leisa Antonio started her journey in 2000 where she studied a Bachelor of Social Sciences and began working in the Youth & Community Services sector here in Perth, Western Australia.
In 2006, she continued by learning the art of glass fusing, slumping kiln fired art-form under the wing of an artist. Leisa is constantly being inspired by Indian and sustainable creativity and this has continued her interest to explore contemporary and traditional forms of creative arts.
Leisa has further trained in Glass Art, Dressmaking, Mixed Media and Creative Art Workshops and studied a Certificate IV in Training & Assessment.

Immersive Workshop
Discover the Goddess of Creation and Courage Within!
Join Sally in this beautiful workshop where she will weave chant, storytelling and the making of a natural mandala through the theme of Durga – the goddess of creation and courage.
