About This Event

Description

Join us for Being Human Takes Practice, a transformative meditation retreat designed to reconnect you with presence, purpose, and inner peace. Held on Friday, October 23, 2026, this intimate local meditation retreat event brings together seekers of all levels for a day of profound spiritual practice. Featured teacher Jai Dev Singh, a Kundalini Yoga and mantra teacher rooted in Yogi Bhajan's lineage, will guide you through dynamic classes, sacred chanting, and transformative practices that awaken the human spirit within.

This isn't your typical wellness workshop—it's a full-day immersion into authentic spiritual practice. The retreat creates a sanctuary where the noise of daily life falls away, replaced by the gentle rhythm of breath, mantra, and community. Whether you're a seasoned meditator or exploring mindfulness for the first time, this meditation retreat event offers a welcoming space to deepen your practice and discover what it truly means to be human.

What to Expect

Your day begins as you arrive and settle into the peaceful energy of our retreat space. After grounding yourself with a few moments of quiet reflection, you'll move into dynamic Kundalini Yoga with Jai Dev Singh, where breath work, movement, and intention combine to activate your body's subtle energy channels. You'll feel the warmth building, the mind clearing, and a sense of aliveness awakening from within.

As the morning flows into afternoon, expect guided meditation sessions that deepen your inward journey. Sacred mantra—ancient Sanskrit chants traditionally used for healing and transformation—will resonate through the space, creating a powerful container for inner work. Periods of silent sitting meditation give you space to integrate these practices and connect with your own inner wisdom. Throughout the day, you'll experience the symbiotic rhythm of activity and stillness, effort and surrender.

By the end of this local meditation retreat experience, you'll leave renewed, grounded, and carrying tools you can integrate into daily life. The retreat concludes with a gentle wind-down and integration circle, allowing time to journal, reflect, and reconnect with community before heading back into the world.

Common Questions

FAQs

His live events are participatory experiences rooted in call-and-response kirtan tradition—you're singing and chanting together, not passively listening. The group energy, his live harmonium or instrumental accompaniment, and the collective breath create a transmission that recordings can't replicate; it's about the shared spiritual field in the room.
Based on Jai Dev Singh's teaching approach, 'Being Human Takes Practice' likely centers on mantra, kirtan, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation rather than asana sequences. Expect vocal practices, chanting, and possibly pranayama techniques—prepare to sit or be seated comfortably rather than in yoga poses.
Yogi Bhajan's lineage emphasizes the integration of Kundalini Yoga with mantra, devotion, and practical spirituality for modern life. Jai Dev Singh brings this classical foundation through dynamic, embodied teaching—expect authenticity to the lineage combined with mantra and chant as core tools, not repackaged wellness.
You don't need prior Sanskrit knowledge. Jai Dev Singh typically teaches call-and-response kirtan where you learn by listening and repeating the sounds; the meaning is usually shared. The vibrational and meditative effects of mantra work regardless of intellectual understanding.
