Summer solstice with the happy, healthy, holy organization (3HO)

The 3HO/Happy, Healthy, Holy Organization is Yogi Bhajan's legacy here in America. Comprised of thousands of people dedicated to living a life of inspiration, compassion, and kindness - 3HO has hosted solstice events for the past 43 years. These events serve to bring our spiritual family together and revive our committment to practice, service, and learning. For details on the solstice experience and for more information, please visit www.3HO.org/summer-solstice..

Consider joining YwN for the journey to/from this spiritual event of a lifetime....

YwN joined 3HO in 2001 and we've enjoyed taking the journey each year as well as serving at the camp itself. Our group leaves mid-June to explore hot springs, meditate in the desert, and prepare for the 10 day solstice yoga experience together. After the event, we'll sightsee and hot spring our way back home to the Bay. Interested? Contact Nicole directly for all information and travelling details.

Kundalini Yoga & the journey of Self

In the Kundalini Yoga teachings of Yogi Bhajan, there are 7 steps to keeping happiness in our lives: Committment, Character, Dignity, Divinity, Grace, Sacrifice, and ultimately - Happiness.

In this workshop, we'll use our yogic technology to journey this path of the self together. To begin - we'll look at the nature of 'self' from a yogic perspectice and talk about how to effectively address self worth issues that impede our ability to create happiness in our lives. Next, the self-discovery process will allow us to look at life long habits and patterns of behavior that effect our health, happiness, and well-being. Creating a clear vision of ourselves as a healhy worthy human being, we'll emerge with a regular daily practice to help maintain that image and gain a community through which to give and receive support.

This 3-day workshop 3-day workshop (Fri 7pm-Sun 4pm) rewards students with deep internal knowledge of who they are and what they have to offer the world. If you know someone struggling with their identity as a happy, healthy, and holy individual - encourage them to take this workshop!!
