Tharavaad to me is coming home. A space to put your feet up, slump your shoulders and break built up walls. A space to breathe, slowly; a sudden lightness of spirit, of being. It is comfort food, a familiar voice, hot water and warm socks.

It feels celebratory but humbling. 

Pronounced  -  /'ta-rə-vaad, the literal translation is Ancestral Home in Malayalam, the official language in the state of Kerala, India. 

Here, you will find a focus on simple living with soft tones of Ayurveda.

The Ayurvedic healing and lifestyle practices date back to a simpler era when people opened up their homes to travelers on foot; the passerby. The guest would mirror the holistic timeless rituals of the host in relation to food, drink and healing, picking up stories and friendships along the way.   The weary traveller leaves, lighter and softer. 

Ayurveda has since evolved into a more complex science with a holistic approach, one which treats the body as the temple and nourishes per the seasons. 

A quiet celebration of the seemingly ordinary.

Tharavaad - a space, to Be.
