1. The Vancouver Friends for Life Society (FFL) is a wonderful non-profit organization providing loving support to people with life-threatening illnesses, including HIV/AIDS and cancer. Every two weeks I host a discussion group on the practices and benefits of Ayurvedic medicine, as well as other healing modalities. Part of my task at FFL is to provide members with practical strategies to support immune function, including the preparation of medicinal foods.

2. The Vancouver Ayurveda Meet-up Group is a Meet-up group for people local to Vancouver that are interested in learning more about Ayurveda. We try to meet every month to discuss Ayurveda and learn new things. Past events have included discussions over tea, potluck dinners, herb walks and learning about common Ayurvedic spices.
