Priti Darshan
Course Presenter

Priti Darshan/Kristine’s guiding ethos is that all things are medicine if we properly access them and nurture a healing relationship that guides us closer to Truth. The medicine of love is the most potent of these medicines we can access. Aligned with the medicine of love, PDK works with the medicine of the womb and its relationship to the reality birthed around us. A womb aficionado, KY teacher, Hatha teacher, and student of Shipibo medicine, PDK weaves together the wisdom she has accessed from her own womb healing journey and the teachings of Kundalini Yoga to bring an experiential, contemplative, and ceremonial experience of working with womb healing.

Gurumukh Mark Harris first trained as a Kundalini Yoga teacher in the 70’s, and has been applying yogic philosophy, African-American Psychology, and other principles to his music performance, and addiction therapy practice, for nearly 40 years. In his musical, written, and activist work, he likes to reclaim a bit more of the original spirit of these technologies in their places of origin, where they could be accessed by poor and oppressed people in order to gain empowerment and enlightenment. He has over 40 years of experience in Cross-Cultural Addictions and Mental Health Counseling, Ethnic Studies Education, and training in evidence based, and culturally defined therapies. He specializes in “hard to reach”, and marginalized populations. Many times these populations have devised innovative and exportable solutions that are exportable to other more mainstreamed populations.
