Module 1: Align means to set in order the elements of our lives, putting things in their proper position. Explore what it means to align with our authentic expression, values and purpose while remaining connected to wholeness.
Module 2: Attune means to listen with one’s being – when we are attuned we recognize what is ours to do and to express the right action that beckons us in the unfolding now.
Module 3: Accept means to have equanimity with what is, without resistance. We acknowledge our potential, the light within us, that wants to burn brightly and shine in the world, and accept the hukam or ‘divine order’ as it is revealed to us.
Module 4: Act means once we are aligned, attuned and have received and accepted the divine order, we are ready to act. We actively engage in service with courage, commitment and consistency until our task is complete.
Overall the program will enable you to:
- Heighten your intuition

Inspiration for Sutradhar:
In ancient Indian theater, the stage manager or director of the play was known as a sutradhar (सूत्रधार). Sutradhar refers to the one who controls the organization and execution of the play, like a puppeteer. Our lives are like a play, and we are the actors on the stage. We can also be the directors, co-creating our evolution in alignment with Source, and supported by one another, as a sangat or spiritual family.
The program's objective is to build a supportive and purposeful community where each person can express their uniqueness, share their process and growth, and contribute to the greater good.
About kundalini yoga:
Kundalini yoga originated in India and has evolved over thousands of years. Kundalini yoga is a dynamic, scientific and ancient system combining breathing, movement, stretching, postures, meditation, the use of sound and rhythm, relaxation and meditation. It develops the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual fitness required to navigate the challenging times we currently face. Practicing daily can align and attune you to your true Self and your calling now and throughout your life.

About Guru Nanak:
Gurū Nānak was born in 1469 to a Hindu family and was recognized as an illuminated being as a young man. He travelled on foot for years at a time across Asia, teaching and singing hymns in praise of One creative consciousness, ever-present, constantly creating. He taught that all life was sacred, and upheld values of equality, justice, selfless service, and sharing one's abundance with others. He was honoured by Hindus, Muslims, Sufis and Buddhists, and his followers came to be known as Sikhs. He encouraged them to rise early in the morning to chant sacred mantras and hymns, and to maintain the connection to the Divine in each breath through the repetition of mantra. Nanak's teachings are encoded in poetic hymns, or shabda, including the morning prayer known as Japji, which means, 'Meditate, oh soul'. Passages from the Japji prayer of Guru Nanak will be used as inspiration on our journey together.
