Ayurveda Summer Wellness Retreat: Balancing Pitta Season
July 11-13, 2025
Osage Forest of Peace
Sand Springs, OK
-
At the time of year when the Pitta dosha rules the season, when the sun blazes high and Pitta energy is at its most intense, we invite you to step into a sanctuary of cooling, heart-opening renewal at the Forest of Peace.
Cooling and Heart Opening
Join us for a restorative and playful Ayurvedic retreat designed to balance the heat of the season with gentle self-care, joyful movement, and the soothing embrace of the full moon.
What awaits you
Join certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor Jeni Enns for a weekend to nourish the mind, body, and senses through theory, experiential practices, and time on the Forest's beautiful grounds. Over this weekend in the company of a caring community, you’ll experience:
✨ Ayurveda & the doshas: A welcoming introduction to Ayurveda and how to stay in balance during the summer season.
💆🏽♀️ Skin & body care: Nourishing self-care rituals with cooling oils, floral waters, and soothing botanicals for your skin and body.
🌊 Fun & play: Activities that encourage fun and play in a way that feels lighthearted and free (Pitta needs that!). We’ll make magical mason jar lanterns and decorate them.
🌸 Heart-opening practices: Gentle movement, breathwork, and ceremonies to soften, expand, and invite ease into the summer season.
🌕 Moon bathing ritual: An enchanting night walk under the full moon with our mason jar lanterns, honoring its cooling, calming energy.
This retreat is less about learning and more about experiencing joy, beauty, and rejuvenation. This weekend is an invitation to soften, restore, and reconnect in the forest.
About Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an ancient, 5,000 year-old health system from India and means the science or wisdom of life: Ayur (life) and Veda (study or knowledge). It’s thought to be the oldest healing system in the world.
The knowledge contained in Ayurveda encompasses the nature, scope, and purpose of life. It’s the art of daily living.
Ayurveda says that health encompasses every aspect of your life, such as physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, environmental, financial, vocational, relationships, and so on.
Ayurveda is a sister science with yoga. The reason for practicing Ayurveda, such as through food and lifestyle, is to create the right conditions for your body and life to create yoga, the union of self with the divine.

What’s included
What’s not included
Personalized assessment of your dosha or state of imbalance.
Personalized recommendations of foods, supplements, etc.
Ayurveda is highly personalized, and the scope of this weekend is to provide you with education, exploration, and experiences of self-discovery that you can easily incorporate into your life. You can optionally add-on a personalized consultation with Jeni as an Ayurvedic health counselor (or with a recommended Ayurvedic practitioner) to get a personal assessment of your dosha and what may be out of balance.
An Ayurvedic consultation is a very thorough process of up to two hours of time and includes a lengthy discovery of your entire, holistic picture of health. If you'd like to know more and get pricing, please contact me.
What to bring
Your favorite yoga mat.
If you'd like to experiment with self-massage (abhyanga) oil in your cabin, bring an old towel and flip-flops or shower shoes that you don't mind getting oily.
Comfortable clothes.
