The Ayurveda Camp provides a setting dedicated to deepening knowledge of the traditional teachings of Ayurveda, through the presentation of systems of fundamental principles and their significance for understanding the human being and the processes of life.
The programme combines theoretical perspectives with practical applications, giving participants the opportunity to discover new avenues of study and self-knowledge, and to integrate the principles of Ayurveda into everyday experience.
The autumn session is dedicated to an in-depth study of two complementary systems of traditional Ayurvedic knowledge: Navadha-Nirmanakara, concerning the nine categories of factors that modulate universal substance, and Bheshaja-Siddhanta-Chatushtaya, which presents the four fundamental principles of healing in Ayurveda. The program takes place online in two parts: the first lasts four days, November 26–29, and the second lasts three days, December 11–13, 2026.
The first part of the camp focuses on “Navadha-Nirmanakara – The Nine Categories of Factors That Modulate Universal Substance”, a system of knowledge belonging to the esoteric Ayurvedic tradition and associated with the teachings of the great Vedic sage Angira.
According to this traditional perspective, all existence is in a continuous process of transformation. Nothing remains truly static, and the changes occurring in nature and within the human being are expressions of the action of the universal transformative principle known as Agni.
The Navadha-Nirmanakara system offers a deeper understanding of these processes through knowledge of the nine categories of factors that modulate universal substance. Five correspond to the fundamental elements – earth, water, fire, air and ether – while the other four are associated with more subtle aspects of existence: instrumental consciousness (manas), space (dis), time (kala) and trans-instrumental consciousness (cit).
A particularly interesting aspect of this knowledge is the possibility of recognising the action of these modulating factors in the concrete experience of life. Their manifestations can be observed both in bodily processes and in how we perceive and interpret our surroundings, how we experience space and time, and the processes through which we consciously transform our own being.
During the camp, participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with these perspectives and explore their practical significance. Particular attention will be given to developing powers of observation, recognising the conditions that favour beneficial transformations, and understanding how this knowledge can be applied in everyday life.
The connections between Navadha-Nirmanakara and the Ṣaḍ-Padārtha system, explored during the summer session of the camp, will also be presented. This comparison will allow participants to build on the knowledge they have already acquired and discover further correspondences between the fundamental principles of Ayurveda and their manifestations in human experience.
The sessions will take place live via Zoom over three days, according to the following schedule:
The second part of the camp focuses on “Bheshaja-Siddhanta-Chatushtaya – The Four Fundamental Principles of Healing in Ayurveda”, a traditional system of knowledge that offers a perspective on the conditions necessary for the processes of healing and the restoration of balance within the human being.
From the traditional Ayurvedic perspective, healing involves more than choosing a suitable remedy or method. It is important that the means employed correspond to the nature of the imbalance, are applied to the extent required, and take account of the individual's receptivity and inherent resources. The four principles brought together in this system highlight precisely these conditions.
The first principle, Kshetra-Anurupa-Shakti-Siddhanta, concerns the correspondence between the energy employed and the level at which transformation is sought. The second, Matranurupa-Shakti-Siddhanta, emphasises the importance of proportionality, appropriate intensity and the duration of the healing action.
The third principle, Prabodha-Kendra-Shakti-Samvada-Siddhanta, concerns the role of receptivity and the activation of states of resonance with beneficial subtle energies. The fourth, Shakti-Parinama-Urdhvikarana-Siddhanta, highlights the possibility of transforming, refining and progressively elevating the energies present within the being.
During the camp, participants will explore the practical significance of these principles and how they complement one another. This integrated perspective provides valuable points of reference for understanding and consciously applying traditional Ayurvedic methods of harmonisation, as well as for making use of one's own resources in everyday life.
A separate set of medicinal plants is available for each part of the camp, selected in accordance with the topics covered. The plants will be used during the sessions, allowing participants to explore the material presented through direct experience and become familiar with their properties and characteristics.
Purchasing the sets is optional and is arranged separately through the animaplant.ro website. The cost of the sets is not included in the camp participation fee.
The camp is open to everyone interested in deepening their knowledge of the traditional teachings of Ayurveda. Ayurveda lecturers from AMN-România, students and others interested in the proposed topics are welcome to participate, whether or not they are currently attending Ayurveda courses.
