One of ayurveda's tools for cleansing is a dish called kitchari (kitch-uh-ree). Kitchari is a delicious, thick soup that is beloved in the tradition of Ayurveda. Composed of rice, dal, spices, and other nutritious ingredients, it is extremely easy to digest, making it a staple of the Ayurvedic diet and the go-to meal for Ayurvedic cleansing. We will experience a mono diet of kitchari for three days of the retreat for lunch and dinner. The remainder of our meals will be vegetarian.
