Rasayana Cove Ayurvedic Retreat is a 25 acre
nature retreat in the woods of central Florida (near Sarasota)
specializing in rejuvenation treatments from the Panchakarma
tradition of south India. We offer Ayurvedic treatments in a
pristine natural setting ideal for a wellness and meditation
retreat.
Our goal at Rasayana Cove is to facilitate
natural healing of the body and mind through detoxification,
massage, nourishment, and deep relaxation. Solitary retreats and
Kaya Kalpa rejuvenation take place in the Forest Hermitage
cabin. Couples retreat in our cypress cabin overlooking the
private lake.
Some guests may wish to explore a silent retreat
to deepen their meditation practice. This is a time away from
the stress of daily responsibilities to reassess ones life and
consider new directions.
On special occasions
group retreats are
organized in our new house constructed according to principles
of Vedic Vastu architecture. The spacious gathering room and
kitchen serve to host group retreats and Ayurvedic cooking
workshops.
We prepare vegetarian organic meals with
personalized teaching in
Ayurvedic cooking. Ayurveda stresses
the importance of healthy digestion of the food we eat and
also of our life experiences. Just as Ayurvedic cooking assists
our digestive juices to nourish well being, so our inner fire of
awareness digests what life presents to us both the sweet and
the bitter.
The natural therapy programs at Rasayana Cove
are based on authentic Ayurvedic massage and oiling treatments
to enhance both of these types of digestion. Our staff has been
trained in India in the traditional methods of Kerala Ayurveda:
abhyanga,
shirodhara,
pizhichil,
basti,
and nasya. Panchakarma treatments eliminate ama unprocessed
toxins in our physical and emotional bodies. These Ayurvedic
treatments are deeply relaxing yet invigorating and create a
profound feeling of gentleness and nurturing.
We support our clients in exploring their
personal Ayurvedic constitution so that they may return home
empowered and able to sustain the inner peace and joy they
discover in their retreat.
Since 1994 Rasayana Cove Ayurvedic Retreat has
been receiving people seeking a retreat from their busy
lifestyles. We are centrally located in the heartland of
Floridas orange groves and ranchland with easy access to Tampa,
Sarasota, Sebring, Fort Myers, Orlando, and Miami.
