2008 Summer Solstice Program
Karma Yoga: One of the ways we practice mindfulness and celebrate community at the 3HO Summer Solstice is through our Karma Yoga (selfless service). No matter our responsibility or position, we all take turns cleaning up after each other and ourselves. This is the grounding basis of contemplative community life, and is an important part of your practice. Karma Yoga not only serves your soul, it helps keep your Solstice tuition lower.
Youth & Teen Programs (0-17 yrs): During White Tantric days, a camp for children from infancy to 17 years of age is provided. Children’s Camp comes about through the cooperation of the parents and guardians. Summer Solstice provides a leadership structure and the schedule of activities. The parents and guardians need to facilitate the daily care of their children, as the children’s program is only scheduled to run on the three days of White Tantric Yoga®.
Bazaar World Market: As a means to allow our registered participants to offset their tuition price, a shopping space is provided for everyone to enjoy. Yogic and health-related products and services* will be featured, along with more information about Kundalini Yoga and Sikh Dharma.
*Body workers and healers must be licensed by the State of New Mexico.
Sadhana: You are invited to participate in Sadhana or “daily practice.” Each morning we begin at 3:45 am with Japji (prayer reading), followed by 45 minutes of Kundalini Yoga, 62 minutes of meditation (to live music) and a short Gurdwara service. Yogi Bhajan gave this specific sadhana as a powerful personal tool during the transition from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age.
Gurdwara (Sikh Devotional Service): One of the traditions of practicing Sikh Dharma is the Gurdwara service. Gurdwara is a spiritual practice that uses devotional songs and uplifting music called Gurbani Kirtan to connect the individual soul with the Infinite. A short Gurdwara service is held each morning as the completion of sadhana. A longer service is held on Sunday morning.

Kundalini Yoga & Sikh Dharma:
Yogi Bhajan was not only the Master of Kundalini Yoga, but also held a position of distinction in the Sikh religion. His title was The Siri Singh Sahib and he served as the Chief Administrative Authority for Sikhs in the Western Hemisphere.
The Sikh lifestyle shares elements of the technology of Kundalini Yoga. Sikhs grow their hair, cover their heads, are vegetarians, and do not use any substances such as alcohol or tobacco. As recommended, many wear white clothing, which is a combination of all colors (spin a color wheel and see white)! White enhances the aura and strengthens the magnetic field. Being in this environment offers participants a chance to experience this aspect of the technology. Because of this, you will see a lot of people wearing turbans and white clothing.
