Sat Nam!
It is my deepest joy to invite you to join us for an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a week combining a beautiful Kundalini yoga practice with rich and fulfilling seva for children in need, not to mention beautiful live kirtan in the exotic countryside of Rishikesh, India.
In the birthplace of yoga, we will practice one of yoga's most important principles: seva, or selfless service. 100% of the profits from this retreat go to help build a new dormitory at a school and home for destitute children, called Ramana's Garden.
Our early mornings will be filled with the sweetness of Kundalini Yoga sadhana. It is a rare opportunity to practice sadhana in the original place where it was developed in caves by saints, to watch the sunrise over the Himalayas, and to feel ourselves refreshed by this timeless practice. After a healthy vegetarian breakfast and a dynamic morning yoga class taught by Ramdesh Kaur, we will head to Ramana's Garden Children's Home, where we will spend our days in service to radiant children from some of the poorest and most desperate communities in the world. Our evenings will be filled with the sweet music of Ajeet Kaur! This amazing experience will change your life forever!
Play, teach, build, laugh...make a difference in the life of a child who needs you, many of whom have lost their parents and are looking for your love! 100% of the profits from this retreat go to the building of a new dormitory so this amazing oasis can rescue more children from the poverty of the streets. Put your talents to good use! Any level of seva is welcome on this retreat from playing with the children to helping with the building construction. If you have special skills to serve, we will work to arrange unique and dynamic opportunities for you!
We'll enjoy food prepared by the kids in their delicious organic cafe (they grow their own food!) for lunch! When we aren't living in service, we'll have special outings, including an optional group exploring the local town and markets, aarti on the banks of the Ganga, musical events with the amazing Ajeet Kaur and more!
Rishikesh is in the foothills of the Himalayas where the banks of the Ganga teem with life, where monkeys and sacred cows roam the streets next to holy men in ashes and women in brightly colored saris, where the Beatles themselves found spirituality and purpose.
I hope you will join me.
With Love and Gratitude, Karan Khalsa |
