In this far-reaching workshop with Gurucharan you will learn a series of yogic practices used for hundreds of years to create a natural state of happiness. When you make these part of your daily life, you will be perpetually happy.
"A meditative mind is essential to be happy and is one of your built in capacities. The only challenge is that it is not automatic. You must do some practice to evoke it, train it, and cultivate it. It is your hidden genie—your inner power to go beyond conflicts and enjoy every moment of life, to express your uniqueness and be happy. When you are awake and conscious, you can develop an attitude of hope, victory, joy, gratitude and contentment." – Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D.

Kundalini Rising: The Awakening of Spiritual Consciousness
Sunday, August 8 1:00pm-5:00pm
The beginning of spiritual awareness begins with the awakening of the Kundalini energy, the benign force that unfolds our highest potentials.
