Listen to Your True Self

International Kundalini Yoga Intensive for Women

Paros, Greece

September 4 -13, 2009

“The idea is to create a woman of the Age of Aquarius.”

Yogi Bhajan (Women’s Camp, June 29, 2000)

Welcome to the third 3HO Women’s Camp in Greece!

We will be gathering on the northeastern cost of Paros, an island southeast of Athens. Picture yourself waking up for Sadhana and hearing the ocean breaking on the beach! As we chant “Wahe Guru” the sun rays are stretching over the horizon turning the sky into a playground of pastel colors. How about a walk on the sandy beach or a run before breakfast? Or perhaps you would enjoy a swim in the crystal clear ocean? So pack your bathing suit and your yoga mat!

Tarn Taran Kaur – New Mexico and Simran Kaur – Hamburg will weave Yogi Bhajan’s specialized teachings for women, with Kundalini Yoga, fun, dance and relaxation. You will return home refreshed, renewed and deeply inspired.

Yogi Bhajan was extraordinarily inspired by the strength and the grace of his own mother and grandmother. He observed them guiding his family, the relatives, and the village affairs with wisdom, clarity and grace. He studied his mother as she maintained her nobility when they walked out of their home in Pakistan and then, starting over from nothing, re-established her family in India. With courage and dignity, these two women guided him to live by the highest values and still maintain compassion for others. These women were his authentic, personal examples of the depth and strength of women.

We look forward to meeting each and every one of you and sharing this special time with you on the coast of the ancient beaches of Greece.

Humbly,

Tarn Taran Kaur Khalsa ()

Simran Kaur Khalsa Wester ()

“Once you accept your own dignity the whole world will come to you. You have to do first things first. If you do not accept your own dignity as a woman, all decorations and all facilities shall mean nothing. It has nothing at all to do with any man or with any relationship.”

“I hope on my last mile of life, before I close these worldly eyes, I’ll see some of you grown up enough to carry the banner and grace. One day I will not be sitting on that pedestal teaching you. On that day it will fall on your shoulders to carry on the teachings, the practices and the practical. That day you will be very proud to be women. That day, when you commit your character, dignity, divinity and grace, will bring you the total polarity: to be top priority in your life and your purity will touch your heart. That is the way you will become the Khalsa woman and be the pride of the planet earth. That will be the era of peace.”

Yogi Bhajan, Women’s Camp, July 4, 1990
