Rasayana Cove Ayurvedic Retreat

4224 Solomon Road
863-494-7565

Rasayana Cove Ayurvedic Retreat is a 25 acre nature retreat in the woods of central Florida (near Sarasota) specializing in rejuvenation treatments from the Panchakarma tradition of south India. We offer Ayurvedic treatments in a pristine natural setting ideal for a wellness and meditation retreat.

Our goal at Rasayana Cove is to facilitate natural healing of the body and mind through detoxification, massage, nourishment, and deep relaxation. Solitary retreats and Kaya Kalpa rejuvenation take place in the “Forest Hermitage” cabin. Couples retreat in our cypress cabin overlooking the private lake.

Some guests may wish to explore a silent retreat to deepen their meditation practice. This is a time away from the stress of daily responsibilities to reassess one’s life and consider new directions.

On special occasions group retreats are organized in our new house constructed according to principles of Vedic Vastu architecture. The spacious gathering room and kitchen serve to host group retreats and Ayurvedic cooking workshops.

We prepare vegetarian organic meals with personalized teaching in Ayurvedic cooking. Ayurveda stresses the importance of healthy digestion – of the food we eat and also of our life experiences. Just as Ayurvedic cooking assists our digestive juices to nourish well being, so our inner fire of awareness digests what life presents to us – both the sweet and the bitter.

The natural therapy programs at Rasayana Cove are based on authentic Ayurvedic massage and oiling treatments to enhance both of these types of digestion. Our staff has been trained in India in the traditional methods of Kerala Ayurveda: abhyanga, shirodhara, pizhichil, basti, and nasya. Panchakarma treatments eliminate “ama” – unprocessed toxins in our physical and emotional bodies. These Ayurvedic treatments are deeply relaxing yet invigorating and create a profound feeling of gentleness and nurturing.

We support our clients in exploring their personal Ayurvedic constitution so that they may return home empowered and able to sustain the inner peace and joy they discover in their retreat.

Since 1994 Rasayana Cove Ayurvedic Retreat has been receiving people seeking a retreat from their busy lifestyles. We are centrally located in the heartland of Florida’s orange groves and ranchland with easy access to Tampa, Sarasota, Sebring, Fort Myers, Orlando, and Miami.
