• Meeting between members of SSSC and trainers – On Friday 16 Oct, we held a meeting
between almost 70 teacher trainers and some representatives from the Siri Singh Sahib
Corporation (SSSC), which is KRI’s “parent” organization. The SSSC representatives
answered some of the questions submitted by trainers (and we are working to get more
of them answered in writing in possible), and they had a chance to hear directly from
some of you about the concerns. We plan to talk more about these topics at the
December trainer forum.

o The Path of Forgiveness With Shama Kaur
October 29th, 11:00AM-12:30PM Eastern Time (New York)
The capacity to forgive is shaped by the past and impacts both the present
and future. In this workshop, Shama Kaur explores the virtue of forgiveness
in association to the 7th body (the aura) and the quality of being
revengeless and fearless. It provides the opportunity to explore your
relationship with forgiveness towards yourself, towards others and to make
adjustments that pave the way for releasing the old accounts to lighten the
load on your magnetic field.
In 2012 Shama Kaur became the first Egyptian Kundalini Yoga Teacher &
Trainer. In Arabic ‘Shams’ means sun and ‘Shama’ means candle, and
together her name means ‘the one who shines the light of her inner soul.’
