Discover Your Elemental Nature: An Introduction to Ayurveda & Acupuncture
with Marisa Toriggino, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Debora Silverman, Acupuncturist

Join us for a free, community-centered evening where two powerful systems of healing come together in conversation. Ayurvedic Practitioner Marisa Toriggino and Acupuncturist Debora Silverman will guide you through the foundational principles of Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine, highlighting how the elements shape your health, emotions, and vitality.

Marisa will introduce the five elements of Ayurveda—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—and the three doshas: Vāta, Pitta, and Kapha. She’ll explore how understanding your unique elemental makeup can guide your choices around food, routines, and lifestyle to support a more balanced life.

Debora will offer reflections from the lens of Chinese Medicine, inviting an open discussion about energy, emotion, and healing through acupuncture and elemental understanding.

Come with questions! This talk is designed to be interactive, with space for thoughtful dialogue and shared insight.

Everyone who registers in advance will receive a free Ayurvedic dosha assessment by mail to complete before the event.

Light Ayurvedic refreshments will be served.

Free and open to the community – RSVP now to reserve your spot!
