Young children and the KLC Experience
Khalsa Ladies Camp Does Not Incorporate Young
Children into the Camp
Come and be you. Khalsa Ladies Camp is made for
you to experience yourself in the core of yourself as a woman, to
drink deep from the depth of the Divine Feminine. The environment
is made for you to renew your simple rhythm of life.
We identify ourselves so much with who we are in
relation to everyone else: we are a wife, we are a mother, we are
a girlfriend, we are a worker, we are a teacher. Yet in order to
be all of these things to so many beloved people in our lives, there
is one relationship that needs to be nurtured. That is with our
own soul, with our own being. Where we say: I am a woman.
Khalsa Ladies Camp is an opportunity to do this,
to experience yourself without the usual demands on your time and
aura. We are so wired to respond to the needs of others that we
forget our own need to go deep into the call of the soul. Every
woman needs this time and environment to relax, meditate, laugh,
dance, be in the company of other women in a sacred space. This
is a deeply relaxing experience, a chance for recuperation and revitalization
on a cellular and unconscious level. This is necessary in order
to successfully and with sacredness be a woman in this world.
This is why we do not incorporate infants and
toddlers into the program of Khalsa Ladies Camp. When young children
are around, women automatically respond to the sight and sounds
of the children. We find that instead of going deep deep deep, our
auras and arclines respond to the call of the child. KLC is creating
an environment which allows this depth, so for a few days we are
not wives, mothers, "responders". Instead, we are nurturing
the depth of woman as woman. We do this in the presence of other
women, moving consciously together for a few days.
Young Women CAN be Part of KLC
KLC does encourage you to bring your daughters
7 years old and older IF they can honor your need to meditate and
be with the other women, while they bond with their peers and other
young ladies, and be part of the Young Woman's Program. You as a
mother need to honestly weigh this and feel what is best for you
and your daughter.
Activate Your Support System
What is your support network in your life? Every
woman needs this. Is it your husband, friends, family? Allow them
the experience of giving you this support, to take your children
into their care for these few days. This is also very nurturing
for your young child, to see that their life is supported by more
than just you.
But I See Some Young Children at KLC?
Yes, it's true, some staff members and some ladies
DO bring their young children. This is weighed on an individual
and very limited basis. All of these women are either staff members,
or have been to KLC before, and come with no expectation of participating
in the activities with their children. They understand the environment
that needs to be created, honor that, have trained their children
to honor that, and serve the space.
Khalsa Ladies Camp is a unique culture. Come as
you are and be served within it. Be pure, relaxed, and enchanted.
