Grand Opening for Lotus Healing Arts

May 9, 2008 • 3-7pm
302 Pearl Street

We are celebrating the opening of a new healing center!



Dr. Lad, renowned Ayurvedic physician, will lead Agni Hotra fire ritual and a blessing ceremony, and will also offer a public talk on "spirituality in everyday life".

There will be an open house and tours of the new solar-heated facility.

The North end of the Building at 302 Pearl Street has just been substantially remodeled, and is now the home of both Boulder Ayurveda and BalanceWorks. The space has been designed to optimize passive solar performance and create a peaceful and healing environment. Varadaan, Founder of Boulder Ayurveda, is the primary designer of the remodel work, and is also the creator of the Solstice Center, the larger building in which Lotus Healing Arts resides. He is one of Dr. Lad’s advanced students and has been helping with the Ganesh Ayurveda Ashram project in Pune, India.

As well, you are invited to make a financial offering of any amount, which will be shared equally between Dr. Lad's new clinic project in Pune, India - the Ganesh Ayurveda Ashram, and a fund used in Boulder to assist those who need help with the cost of their Ayurvedic medicine - the Ganesh Medicine Fund.
