surrender and that touch of grace.”

Self-Initiation

Profound Journey

—

On behalf of KRI, we welcome
you and wish you all blessings as you begin this profound journey.


The program focuses on
THE INTEGRATION OF THREE KEY QUALITIES
of a Spiritual Teacher:

 

 

One of the guiding principles of Level Three is that, unlike Level One and Two,
there will be no Trainers, instead one Level Three generation will welcome the next.

Level Three journey is highly experiential, uniquely personal, self-initiated and self-directed.

It is not a program directed by an individual Lead Trainer; instead,
it is a diagonal, peer-supported process, where one’s Peer Group acts as a “mirror” and a “mentor”.

  • Have taught 500 hours of Kundalini Yoga (since your Level One graduation)
