SEASONAL NEWSLETTER Summer 2017 Hello All, Summer is fully here. The Sonoma County hills are golden in all of their glory and the apples are ready for harvest. As these warmer months continue on I wanted to share several new offerings with you. I have two exciting retreats coming up and some local specials. Check them out below! Also, scroll down for an easy, refreshing beverage recipe that reduces the pitta dosha and keeps our minds calm and clear during this peak solar energy. Pitta becomes aggravated in the summer so it's helpful to incorporate cooling practices and foods to avoid inflammatory symptoms. The more knowledge we have about our unique constitution and how we are effected by the changing seasons and various climates, the easier it becomes to apply the wisdom of Ayurveda and live in balance. So - stay cool out there, have fun, and I hope our paths continue to cross! Lots of Love, Camina UPCOMING RETREATS Women's Ayurveda Retreat *September 22nd-24rd, 2017* Join Heather and I for our 3rd Women's Ayurveda Retreat at the Silent Stay Retreat Center in Vacaville, CA.

SUMMER RECIPE ***Sublime Cucumber Lime*** 1 cucumber 1 lime pinch of sea salt aloe vera juice (optional) Pour purified water into a large pitcher (around 24oz.). Peel the cucumber partially or all the way and cut into small pieces. Squeeze the lime into the pitcher. Add a pinch of sea salt. I like Himalayan Salt, or Atlantic Grey for its moisture content. These high mineral sea salt provide electrolytes that we often loose through sweat. You may also want to try adding aloe vera juice to your drink to increase the cooling effect. Aloe vera supports the liver, one of the pitta organs and is very purifying. If you are new to using aloe vera, try the Inner Fillet Juice since it's less bitter. Enjoy! xoxo LET'S STAY CONNECTED "Harmonize with Nature, Walk a Path of Balance" VISIT CAMINAGILLOTTI.COM
