New aspects of the KY Retreat:New aspects of the KY Retreat:New aspects of the KY Retreat:New aspects of the KY Retreat: MEDITATION ROOM
This year we have a Meditation Room open throughout the retreat where prayers, meditation and a Sehej Paath (in English) will take place. In between organised activities, everyone is encouraged to go into the space for quiet reflection and meditation.
Sehej Paath is a reading of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, (the Shabad Guru, Sikh Scrip-tures and source of many of the mantras in Kundalini Yoga). You can sign-up to do a
reading (in English) throughout the Retreat. Readings will continue on-line and at the Mata Tripta Dar-bar (see below) , with a grand concluding ceremony (“bhog”) in September, to commemorate the day when the Sri Guru Granth Sahib was crowned the eternal Guru for all times. Sehej Paath is an opportunity for you to connect with your soul-self through meditating on the Shabad-Guru.

We will also have a small bazaar selling yogic-friendly products. Please support and encourage the small businesses. A percentage of sales will be donated to SNM.
