What is Soma?

Soma is the nectar of the moon, the elixir of divine nourishment in Vedic tradition.

Soma for Healing & Longevity

Ayurveda teaches that cultivating Soma energy through nourishing foods, cooling herbs, and restful practices sustains vitality and inner radiance. How do we invite more Soma into our daily lives? Through ritual, through attunement to nature’s cycles, through conscious nourishment.

Soma as the Lunar, Receptive Force

In Ayurveda & Jyotish, Soma is the soothing balm that restores and rejuvenates. It is the moon’s glow, the waters of renewal, the connection of the heart, the rasa (essence) that keeps our spirits vibrant.

Soma as the Subtle Nectar in Ayurvedic Nutrition

Soma lives in foods—the sweet, unctuous, life-giving qualities found in ghee, milk, dates, and rejuvenating herbs like Shatavari and Ashwagandha.

Soma as a Sacred Practice for Inner Light

Soma is the lunar wisdom that balances the fiery nature of Mars, the cooling presence that soothes an overactive mind, the sacred pause that allows us to receive grace and guidance.

Soma Circles: A Lunar Sanctuary for Soulful Living

Once a month - on the Full Moon’s radiant bloom - we gather in sacred circle, attuning to the celestial rhythm above and the wisdom of the season.

Rooted in the luminous teachings of the nakshatras—the starry mansions of Vedic astrology—Soma Circles offer a space to align with the moon’s shifting tides, cultivating balance, insight, and renewal.

Each gathering is an invitation to:

✨ Receive cosmic wisdom—insights on the lunar mansion of the moment and how it shapes your body, mind, and spirit.


✨ Practice in harmony with the Moon—meditations, rituals, breathwork, and embodied techniques to weave lunar intelligence into daily life.


✨ Reflect & Renew—thoughtful prompts to deepen your connection with the seen and unseen, the self and the cosmos.

Whether the moon is whispering of new beginnings or illuminating hidden truths, Soma Circles are a sanctuary for clarity, renewal, and alignment—a return to your inner light through the ancient rhythms of the sky.

Come sit in the glow of celestial wisdom. Let the moon’s medicine move through you. This is your invitation to live in lunar harmony.
