Full Spectrum Summer Solstice with Hari & Jenn

Two days. One sun. All of you.
From Kundalini Kriya to Creativity to Cold Plunge

Join us Saturday, Sunday, or both. Let the longest day of the year work for you.

Master teacher Hari Kaur and sound healer Jenn Drue offer a full-spectrum weekend designed to awaken the body, tune the nervous system, ignite creativity, and deliver you into deep restoration.

Day 1 · Saturday, June 20

Movement · Creativity · Sound

Solstice Nature Walk & Qigong (optional)
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM  | Snake Rocks Preserve, Woodstock, NY
Begin the morning in radiant clarity. We’ll gather for a nature walk and Qigong for the fire element of summer — associated with igniting the life of the heart. The walk opens in silence as the sun rises over the Woodstock hills and streams, then unfolds into standing and moving meditation.

Lunch on your own — local suggestions provided

Solstice Workshop with Hari & Jenn
1:30 PM – 6:30 PM | Mountain View Studio · 20 Mountain View Avenue, Woodstock, NY
The heart of the day. We immerse in the creativity and heart-fire that the solstice delivers in such a full way.

Creative Chanting & Song Circle A chant and song circle woven with journaling and art-making. The soul shines through our words and our colors. The subject: the sun, and the warmth of the creative spark within.

Kundalini Yoga & Sound Healing Joyful kriya and movement give way to deep rest, recovery, and rejuvenation in an extended sound bath of gongs, bells, bowls, and music.

Meditation & Inner Ritual A guided inner practice to bring out our blessings, prayers, and intentions. You make the difference.

Snacks & Sangat — “Ask the Teachers” We close in community with a session of wisdom, common sense, and good humor. We shine together.

Day 2 · Sunday, June 21

Kriya · Gong · Heat · Cold

Kundalini Yoga & Gong Bath
11:00 AM – 1:30 PM | Mountain View Studio · 20 Mountain View Avenue, Woodstock, NY
Begin in the radiant clarity of late morning. Hari Kaur opens a Kundalini practice that gently uncovers the foundations and subtleties of this transformative tradition — breath, mantra, movement, and the architecture of awareness itself. Whether you’ve never sat on a cushion or you’ve been chanting at sadhana for years, you’ll find what you came for here.

The session melts into an extended gong bath with Jenn Drue — a wash of harmonic vibration that softens every edge and resets the system from the inside out. You arise out of the sound current into deep meditation for the joy of summer.

Sauna · Cold Plunge · Hot Soak (optional add-on)
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Woodstock Sanctuary — Octopia Sauna · Private location, details shared upon registration
As the long sun begins its slow turn, gather for sanctuary sauna, soak, and cold plunge. The healing of heat, cold, water, and good company completes this Summer Solstice celebration. You’ll leave clear, quiet, and lit from within.

Hari Kaur Khalsa is a master teacher of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, pioneering its teaching in the West as part of the first wave of yoga teachers. She studied Qi Gong with Chris Chen and offers classes tailored for women and all practitioners. Hari directs and teaches Kundalini classes and teacher trainings worldwide, with a notable legacy of bringing Kundalini Yoga to high schools and hospitals. From 1988 to 2004, she led the development of Kundalini Yoga wellness programs at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in the Greater Boston Area before relocating to NYC with her husband, Dave. In 2004, Hari founded the Illumined Woman courses to empower women of all ages, curating wisdom that brings healing, comfort, and transformation. She authored two influential books: ‘A Woman’s Book of Meditation: Discovering the Power of a Peaceful Mind’ and, as co-author with Machelle Seibel, MD, ‘A Woman’s Book of Yoga: Embracing Our Natural Life Cycles.’ Hari’s dedication has earned her numerous service awards for making Kundalini Yoga accessible worldwide, and she was the first woman teacher trainer to integrate these teachings universally. Hari Kaur Khalsa’s impact extends beyond her teachings; she was recognized as one of Yoga Journal’s Top Ten Influencers of Yoga in the West, a testament to her profound influence on the global yoga community. 

Jennifer Drue serves as a conduit for transformation, blending ancient wisdom with modern healing practices. Trained under the guidance of esteemed Hari Kaur, she channels the power of Kundalini Yoga, complemented by her expertise as a Certified Sound Therapy Practitioner, weaving the mesmerizing tones of the gong and other sacred sound instruments into her practice. Jennifer curates personal retreats and intimate sessions, each a sacred space for upliftment, healing and transformation. Her teachings resonate deeply, touching lives with the gentle power of healing. She also works for a non-profit organization dedicated to serving people navigating visual impairments and other disabilities, embodying her commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Octopia Sauna is a wood-fired sanctuary, handcrafted with rough-sawn hemlock and a hand-painted door, completed in January 2025. The sauna’s design incorporates an octopus theme, rich in symbolism. The octopus, known for its transformation, adaptability, and intelligence, symbolizes the flexibility needed to navigate life’s challenges. Its eight arms and recurring patterns represent infinity, cycles of renewal, and the continuous flow of energy. Together, these elements create a space for healing, stillness, rejuvenation, and connection. Octopia Sauna offers a serene retreat, inviting peace and wholeness to all who enter.
