• What is health? - Is the WHO definition correct?
• What is the true purpose of Ayurveda?
• What do we understand about modern science and its role in our lives?
• What do we understand of the wellness industry’s concept of health?
• Appropriation of Ayurveda to fit the modern health narrative
• What is the true place of Ayurveda in the modern-day health paradigm?
• How do we better understand the tridoshic qualities within the context of modern life?
• Vata Dosha and modern life
• The role of social media in promoting Ayurveda

What is the role of an Ayurveda practitioner in modern life? Why many approaches in the delivery of Ayurveda might not be effective ways of helping people to find more balance and longer-term contentment—what is the solution?

How can Ayurveda be more widely understood and not become absorbed by modern science’s approach to health, or remain stuck in a culturally and linguistically confusing time warp?

How can Ayurveda guide people to become self-governing and take responsibility for their lives?

About the Speaker - Sonja Shah-Williams BSc (Hons) MAPA, Founder of ANALA

For over the past decade, Sonja Shah-Williams has developed a highly unique, contemporary way of translating the deeper messages and wisdom of the Ancients of Ayurveda, so that it remains authentic, yet highly relevant in the contemporary world.

She has worked with scores of individuals and groups to help them transform their understanding of modern life, and their unique response and reaction to everything. Her main aim is always to help people step away from the cacophony and chaos that reigns today, and find longer-term holistic balance and joy. This allows them to realise their true potential by getting to know themselves so well, that they become self-governing and less reliant on others to ‘fix’ them. She has spent years observing the confusion and fear many people experience in life, as they attempt to make sense of the new themes that we all have to navigate.

She is a published author of two books on Ayurveda, one of which is a self-narrated audiobook, *‘An Ancient Tapestry For Modern Life’ - Ayurveda Unravels The Threads Of Your Unique Relationship With The Contemporary World.* The book creates a bridge between aspects of Ancient Indian/Ayurvedic culture and the westernisation of the very concept of ‘Health’.
