Autumn Studies

A seasonal study of transition, rhythm, and nourishment.

ONLINE · SELF-PACED · SEASONAL

Autumn Studies opens September 15 and unfolds through November.
Join anytime during the season. When you join, you receive access to everything already released, plus new material as it is added.

There is no need to begin on September 15, and there is no catching up.

What is conscious nectar studies?

A place to explore Ayurveda as a lived experience.

Conscious Nectar Studies is a seasonal study of the relationships that shape our well-being — with season, rhythm, nourishment, our senses, our body, and the way participate in our own lives.

Through seasonal teaching, visual study, embodied practice, everyday ritual, and conversation, we take the principles of Ayurveda out of abstraction and begin to notice how they are already moving through our lives.

Health is the ability to transform life into vitality.

“Ayurveda was never meant to be something we simply know. It is something we learn to observe.”

— CNS

The studies move with the seasons

We begin by noticing what is changing.

Each season brings different qualities, different questions, and different opportunities for study. The goal is not to memorize the “right answer”, but to develop a more discerning relationship with your own life.

Rather than moving through a fixed curriculum, Conscious Nectar Studies follows the changing year.

Each season brings different qualities, different questions, and different opportunities for study.

We begin by noticing:

What is changing?

From there, we learn to recognize qualities, rhythms, patterns, and responses.

The goal is not to memorize the “right” Ayurvedic answer.

The goal is to develop a more discerning relationship with your own life.

To notice.

To understand.

To choose.

To participate.

Autumn studies september - novemeber 2026

Meet the turn.

As summer begins to loosen its hold, the light changes, mornings cool, and the body notices. Autumn Studies explores how Ayurveda understand transition and what it means to meet change with greater awareness rather than simply reacting to it.

Autumn Studies opens September 15 and unfolds through the changing season.

New teachings, practices, visual studies, rituals, and resources are added as autumn progresses. You may join at any point during the season. When you do, you will have access to everything that has already been released as well as the material still to come.

Move through the studies at your own pace. The September, October, and November themes offer a seasonal rhythm—not a schedule you have to keep up with.

HOW AUTUMN STUDIES WORKS

Autumn Studies unfolds gradually, in relationship with the season itself.
Join anytime after September 15 and receive access to everything already released, along with new material as it is added.

There is no required pace. Follow what draws your attention, return to what is useful, and let the studies accompany you through the season.

When you join Autumn Studies, you receive access to the complete Autumn Studies space.

Everything already released will be available to you immediately, and new materials will continue to be added throughout the season.

Seasonal Study

Long-form articles, Field Notes, deeper Ayurvedic teachings, and donwloadable CNS Reader files.

Visual Learning

Maps and teaching tools that make Ayurvedic ideas easier to understand and return to.

Embodied Practice

Guided movement, breath, awareness, and seasonal practices designed to help you experience the teachings rather than only read about them.

Seasonal Tending

Rituals, herbal explorations, sensory practices, recipes, oils, teas, and simple ways to care for yourself through the season.

Live GATHER Sessions

Opportunities to come together for study, practice, reflection, conversation, and shared seasonal inquiry.

Autumn Alchemy

A seasonal companion and workbook with reflections and practices we can return to individually and use together during GATHER sessions.

You do not have to complete everything.

There is no catching up.

Enter where something calls your attention.

Return when you need it.

This is a study meant to accompany a life.

THE OPTIONAL AUTUMN TEND KIT

A tangible companion to the season.

For those who would like to bring the Autumn Studies into their daily rituals, an optional seasonal TEND Kit is available.

The Autumn kit includes:

4 oz Autumn Ritual Oil
A seasonal botanical body oil created for warmth, moisture, touch, and autumn tending.

Full-size seasonal loose-leaf tea
A warming autumn tea to accompany the practices and gatherings.

Tea strainer

The kit is completely optional. You do not need it to participate in CNS.

It simply offers another way to experience the season through scent, taste, touch, and ritual.

Autumn TEND Kit · $44

Conscious Nectar Studies may be for you if you are curious about Ayurveda but want something deeper than lists of dosha rules.

If you want to understand why a practice might be helpful rather than simply being told what to do.

If you are interested in seasonal living, food, herbs, movement, ritual, nervous-system nourishment, and the relationship between the body and the world around it.

If you are already a yoga teacher, bodyworker, healer, educator, practitioner, or lifelong student and want a thoughtful place to continue learning.

Or if you are simply beginning.

There is no prerequisite.

You do not need to know your dosha.

You do not need to change your entire life.

We begin with attention.

A NOTE FROM STEPHENIE

Conscious Nectar Studies grew from my own experience of Ayurveda as something much larger than a collection of recommendations.

Again and again, the teachings have brought me back to attention—to the rhythms of the day, the qualities of a season, the intelligence of the body, and the responsibility we have to participate in our own lives.

I wanted to create a place where we could study Ayurveda with depth without turning it into another system of perfection.

A place for questions.

For practice.

For observation.

For beautiful things that help us see.

For teachings we can return to.

And for a community willing to explore what it means to live with greater awareness, responsibility, and relationship.

Autumn feels like the right place to begin.

It is a threshold.

And perhaps that is what Conscious Nectar Studies is, too:

a threshold into a more inhabited life.

— Stephenie

BEGIN HERE
