Jaisri M. Lambert
Jaisri M. Lambert led the recent retreat "Ayurveda Health & Healing Retreat in India", December 2017.
Jaisri M. Lambert has been practicing and teaching natural therapies since 1983 after her own debilitating migraine headaches kindled her interest in alternative therapies. Her exploration led her first to Polarity Therapy, in which she became certified in 1985. As interest and demand for natural healing classes increased, Jaisri founded the Westcoast Polarity School and later the East-West Polarity School, teaching innovations in Polarity Therapy internationally.
In 1989 she met renowned Ayurvedic physician and author Vaidya Vasant D. Lad, B.A.M.S., MA.Sc. in Victoria, B.C., an event that deeply influenced her life. “Healing is love plus intelligence”, Dr. Lad taught, validating Jaisri’s experience that spirituality and physical life are not separate.

The Conference was organised over three days on 17-19 December, 2018 in New Delhi and saw the participation of 63 speakers from 16 countries and over 250 delegates, deliberate on various themes including public diplomacy, yoga, cinema, digital storytelling, Ayurveda, cuisine, performing arts, art craft and design, education, tourism, spirit
