Events

2026 WAVES Conference

Dr. Jim Ventresca was a panelist at the recent Post-Conference Workshop of the 2026 World Association for Vedic Studies (WAVES) Conference. The conference session, Ayurveda Education in the US: Standards, Integrity, and the Future, offered a thoughtful, interesting, and collaborative discussion. There was a clear sense that the Ayurvedic profession in the United States is entering a new phase of cooperation, alignment, and maturity. We will be sharing more about this conference and its key insights in the coming weeks.
