Join Angela Vytautė in this conversation that explores how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom can meet modern trauma awareness - and why, for many of us, healing requires more than food, herbs, and routines alone.

Learn More About:

• What trauma-informed Ayurveda really means - and why it's not a one-size-fits-all approach
• How unresolved emotional experiences can show up as physical symptoms
• The power of healing in community (and why it's often missing today)
• Why sharing our stories in safe groups can be profoundly transformative
• What it means to find - or create - a modern village for healing
