The Ekata Center was established to meet the evolving needs of our time. Ekata is a Sanskrit word meaning unity or oneness. Our current day, while ever evolving in complexity, technological progress and urban development, also finds us entrenched within the challenges caused by a global sense of separateness from each other and the planet that sustains us. Thus, Ekata was founded as a prayer for our remembrance of the unifying, infinite and singular ocean of spirit that nourishes and enlivens each of us. It is a tribute to the earth and all of its beings, and a call to remember our undeniable interdependence in order to thrive.
The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda is a systematic approach to understanding the laws of nature. In learning the language of Ayurveda we learn to live in alignment with natural law, which both maintains the body to achieve longevity and has the power to correct the disharmony in our body that leads to disease.
Welcome to Ekata, where all bodies, backgrounds, and beliefs are welcomed. We are here to offer nature’s medicine as a alternative to allopathic care or symbiotic tool in your integrated health plan.
All are needed by each one: Nothing is fair or good alone.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
