Decision making principles
In this link, you can see the results of our recent poll about decision-making principles. The results show that all Values are important (An average above four). However, seven of the principles need more discussion; because they received more than 2 “I can not live with this principle,” or more than 4 “I can not live” + “I dislike.” Those 7 Principles are in Orange in the Document.
KRI is committed to listening to all voices, and we are creating an opportunity for discussion – especially for those of you who disagree with some suggested principles.
If you are one of those who have concerns or strongly disagree with any principle(s), please write your reasons to us ([email protected]) and/or register for a meeting with the Global Advisory Committee on Feb 9, 2022 10:00 AM Mountain Time
Once we finalize those principles, we will focus on how to use them for decision-making. Thank you to you all who are contributing to this process.
Updates about the relationship between KRI and the Siri Singh Sahib Corporation (SSSC)
As you hopefully know, a small committee has been meeting to discuss the concerns voiced by the ATA community about the relationship between KRI and our “parent” corporation, the Siri Singh Sahib Corp. Please see this update for more information on this relationship, including the news that all Professional and Lead trainers will be automatically able to vote in the upcoming SSSC board elections (with interns and associates able to apply to be able to vote).
Reminder – nominate someone as a potential KRI 2022 Outstanding Achievement Award recipient.
If you know of anyone (trainer or not) who has served the promulgation of Kundalini Yoga, please nominate them at the bottom of this webpage. KRI will bring the nominations to the ATA to vote as to who the 2022 recipient(s) will be!
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee
We’re calling for new members of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee to join us to steer tasks and projects oriented to making KRI a more inclusive community. We hope to bring a fresh perspective to the global community that we already are, and we are open to receive creative proposals, bringing together trainers and from all our participating communities. Please write to Atma Chanan at [email protected] if you’re interested and/or if you have ideas that might serve this committee. Thanks! We appreciate your input.
