Healers Grow Best in Community
Community is by far the most essential element of the Three Pillars of Team Practice. After years of personal study, hard work, and costly investment, graduates of most wellness schools lose their training community and are left to their own resources. As many as 80% fail to thrive within the first 6 months. They need the support of their professional community more than ever, but schools have little to offer past graduation. Grads struggle to maintain the inspiration they had in their study courses. It will feel like you’re practicing in the dark. Skills will begin to fade. Most will have no one to call on with questions about a client case. With this, it’s no surprise that only a tiny percentage of Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy, and Vedic Astrology students go on to practice their trade professionally long-term. This has been a decades-long problem. The solution is a well-organized peer practice community.
At Sevanti Wellness, we believe that the wisdom of your practice will grow with time and experience and should be nurtured within a supportive practice community. Our team practice approach serves as a community lifeline for those who work independently in solo practices. We can also help you to build a group practice. We need professional peers to run clinical questions by and share methods with. Community practice provides the social glue and clinical setting needed for practitioners to grow. As humans, we can only grow together.

Kula Gatherings | Bi-weekly Clinical Meetings – Each clinical department – Ayurveda Counseling, Yoga Therapy, and Vedic Astrology- will hold a virtual Kula meeting on the first and third weeks of each month. Use this time to share challenging cases and clinical methods, help other practitioners, present findings from your work, and share new practice methods and resources relevant to each discipline’s unique practice system. Share your successes and your failures in a supportive environment of your peers. Time will also be provided for personal support and to share personal self-care methods. The department director and at least one faculty will be present at each meeting to provide guidance and oversight.
Sangha Gatherings | Monthly Informal Meetings – These casual virtual meetings are open to practice members across all three departments to meet and greet, learn from each other’s practices and specialties, and deepen social connections. These meetings are the perfect space to ask questions and workshop new ideas. Whether concerning your practice, managing clients, workshops, or anything else relevant to the greater Sevanti sangha, these monthly virtual calls are the spirit and soul of our community of practitioners.
Cross Referrals – Receive and send referrals from practice members across all disciplines at Sevanti Wellness. Create your own network of SW team member referrals that will reciprocate with their referrals to you. If you are an Ayurveda Counselor, send your client to one of our Ayurveda Nutritionists to create a customized meal plan. If you are a Vedic Astrologer and you sense that your client needs physical support for a recent injury, send them to one of our Yoga Therapists. If a client’s health is not responding to standard care, send them to a Jyotishi. The issue may be in their chart. Highlight your practice specialty topics on your Practitioner Profile page, and others will refer clients to you.
Access to Clinical Residency Programs – This optional plan is available for those wanting to be held to a higher standard of clinical practice. Each practice department (Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy, and Jyotish) will develop its unique residency program. See the department directors for details.
Access to Professional Development Programs – This optional plan is available for those needing holistic support with business aspects of your practice. The Professional Development Program is offered by the directors of the Department of Professional Development. See the department directors for details.
