Hi Reader,

Join me tonight—alongside my dear friend and San Francisco-based acupuncturist, Debora Silverman—for a cozy, community-centered evening where we’ll explore the basics of Ayurveda and acupuncture.

We'll enjoy a relaxed conversation, take a quick Dosha Quiz, and share a warm bowl of Kitchari, a traditional Indian dish that’s easy to digest and balancing for all doshas.

What to Expect

• Dosha Quiz – Discover your Ayurvedic type with my short quiz (attached below).
• Healing Kitchari – Savor a bowl of nourishing, home-cooked Kitchari.
• Interactive Talk – Learn simple, meaningful ways Ayurveda and acupuncture can bring you into balance.

P.S. Curious what Kitchari is? Try it at home with my recipe:

Kitchari Recipe​

• ½ cup white basmati rice
• 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 4–6 cups water
• 1–1½ cups chopped vegetables
• 1 tbsp ghee
• ½–1 tsp salt

To cook:​
Sauté spices in ghee until fragrant. Add dal, then rice. Stir. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, add vegetables, and simmer 30–45 minutes until soft. Finish with salt, lemon juice, and cilantro.

Quick tip: You can also make this in a rice cooker or crockpot!
