Beyond the Conditioned Mind: The Power of Surrender
- Time: 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
- Taught by SS Rupinder Kaur Khalsa
- Location: Atma Shelter
Explore the space beyond habitual thought patterns, emotional reactivity, and limiting beliefs. This is a pathway to release resistances and access a deeper state of awareness through surrender.
Through kriya, pranayama, mantra, and meditation, you will begin to learn how to dissolve the conditioned responses that shape your perception of self and reality. As the nervous system balances and the mind becomes more neutral, a natural sense of trust and inner stillness emerges. This class is not about giving up; it is about letting go of what no longer serves you. In that surrender, you begin to open to clarity, intuition, and your authentic nature.

A Master Class in Bowing Jaap Sahib: Bring Guru Gobind Singh Ji into your daily practice and into your life.
- Time: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Everything that comes to us in our lives comes through what we attract through our radiant body and our aura. Experience the art and science of attraction and the pathway to continuous victory.
Japji Sahib, Sikhi & Kundalini Yoga – Part 1
- Time: 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
- Taught by SS Gurutej Singh Khalsa
- Location: SDI Shelter
This course provides a “new take” for students wanting to familiarize themselves with this Bani— it’s designed for beginners!
The foundation of all that we do is in Japji Sahib. There is a reason why the Aquarian Sadhana begins with Japji, for it is in Japji Sahib that Guru Nanak not only explained the entire cosmos, but he also gave us the formula to apply in order to achieve union with the source of all.
Kundalini Yoga is more than 2600 years old. It is a form of Raja Yoga and was only taught by word of mouth, nothing was ever written down. In the 13th century, the Bhakti movement gathered momentum, and it was from that consciousness that Sikh Dharma emerged, brought to light by Guru Nanak. So, it was in that energy and consciousness that the sacred science of kundalini yoga nested.
Neither Kundalini Yoga, nor Sikh Dharma itself, are a religion. For it is not about believing or adhering to a prescribed dogmatic approach, but rather it is about being and living. Join us to find out more.
Chanting the Name of the Divine: 3-Hour Japa
- Time: 1:45 p.m. – 5 p.m.
- Facilitated by SS Siri Chand Singh Khalsa
- Location: SDI Shelter
This experiential offering will provide a wonderful opportunity to practice Japa for 3 hours! “Japa” means reciting and repeating the name of the Divine with great humility. We will dive deep into the sound current of “Guru Guru Wahe Guru Guru Ram Das Guru.” It is known as the Miracle Mantra, as it attunes you to the infinite blessings of Guru Ram Das. It is practiced 5 times in one breath to open your heart and awaken you to the infinite possibilities that are present right now. It brings balance to the 5 tattvas (elements) within us and attunes us at every level of existence to our inner sacredness. It is usually practiced for 108 rounds of 5 mantras per breath. In this class we will chant it in its complete form, of 11 cycles of 108 rounds (1188 rounds of 5 chants in one breath, which takes just under 4 hours). This gives the full depth experience of the practice.
