Updates on the 2 proposals being considered.
Level One Requirement for an Intensive Meditation Day
The feedback from the recent trainer meetings, and on Sutra, was pretty overwhelming (though of course not unanimous!) in its support for our current policy. Therefore, the curriculum committee is withdrawing the proposal to change the requirement. The discussions also pointed out that the current policy is not clearly worded. So the curriculum committee worked on this newly worded policy document. This is NOT a change to our policy, simply an improvement in how it’s communicated. Please refer to this new wording, and let us know if you have any questions. The updated L1 certification requirements form is available as well.
Level Three is thriving!
2023 had great results. This year we successfully ran 3 Melas with new cohorts joining in each of them. There were also some people certifying and some amazing Seva Projects, which you can see on our Seva webpage. Overall, we had 54 returning participants and 37 new Level 3 students. Next year’s dates are set, and we will be accepting applications as of January 2024, please visit our website: https://kundaliniresearchinstitute.org/en/level-three-journey/level-three-journey/
Please join us and share with your students! For more information, contact Inderjot Kaur at [email protected].
