Future of Ayurveda Roundtables

Many in the Ayurvedic profession share a growing sense of urgency around establishing greater recognition and advancing the growth of Ayurveda in the United States.

With shifts occurring in the broader healthcare landscape, many believe the time is ripe to take strategic steps towards gaining more legitimacy whether it is through creating a path for licensing or other pathways to move the profession forward.

Building on the landmark inaugural roundtable at the 2025 NAMA conference, we will be continuing these discussions with strategic facilitators, expert guests, and engaging with our membership in 3 distinct roundtables on the future of ayurveda.

Each roundtable will discuss challenges in a particular area and what steps may be needed to move Ayurveda forward in a unified and sustainable direction whether it is through advancing clinically, through education, or through visibility in the community with public marketing and branding.

These roundtables are open to all conference attendees and general NAMA membership who are invited to listen, learn, and ask questions throughout the facilitated discussion.

Through a mix of presentations from expert guests, survey insights from membership, facilitated dialogue, and targeted questions, participants will examine the challenges and opportunities for each roundtable’s theme.

Attendees can sign up for 1 roundtable only and have the option to purchase recordings of the other 2 roundtable sessions.
