The journey begins with you...
If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.
– Romain Rolland (French Philosopher)

My name is Jaipreet (Joy) Chandna and I will be leading you on this retreat. Born and raised in Calgary, Canada, I have been travelling to India for most of my life. I am a Kundalini Yoga & meditation teacher, earning my certification in 2015 in Vancouver, Canada. I have been leading multiple retreats in India since 2018.
I would love for you to join me on this transformative 10 day retreat with 3 nights Amritsar and 7 nights Dharamshala. Nestled in the Himalayan mountains of Northern India, Dharamshala is the Home of His Holiness The Dalai Lama. We will be spending time at the Temple of the Dalai Lama and visiting surrounding monasteries and temples. We will also be experiencing meditative walking, self-love and gratitude practices. Compassion lives everywhere. Compassion is a nectar that flows deep within our hearts. Once we tune into this universal flow within us, it is then that we can align with the journey of our soul. It is not specific to a certain time - it is every moment - consciously choosing love over fear, choosing to see the light in the darkness & cultivating an unwavering faith deep inside. Knowing that at any time you can access your true self and the pure light within you! Let the branches of compassion reach all and serve all. I hope you will join me on this beautiful journey... ... a journey into the Heart of Compassion
