The Board

3HO Europe is a secular organization welcoming all diversity

WHO

Our board is composed of members chosen for their professional skills and commitment to the 3HO values and lifestyle. The board’s mission is to guarantee the integrity of the 3HO heritage through the different events, projects, and evolution of 3HO Europe. The board members contribute their time as seva (a volunteer basis).

Anyone called to serve our organisation can contact us via email to know more about what serving as a board member implies. The potential member 's application is considered by the existing board and then submitted to the board of Siri Singh Sahib Corporation. Once a prospective board member’s appointment is confirmed by SSSC, the board member will serve on the 3HO Europe board for a determined amount of time which is decided upon when joining the board, usually 2 years.

The Siri Singh Sahib Corporation (SSSC) is the ultimate parent entity of the Siri Singh Sahib’s (Yogi Bhajan’s heritage for profit and nonprofit organizations).

WHAT

The 3HO Europe board meets every fortnight to align the vision that 3HO EUROPE wants to carry, the actions of its CEO, the follow-up of those of the EYF management team as well as the management of its different assets.

WHEN

The Board of Directors is bound by the statutes of the SSSC, to which it is linked, like all other non-profit organisations. The SSSC has no direct influence on the management and actions of 3HO Europe.

Every year 3HO Europe receives a grant from the SSSC along with all other nonprofit organizations. This grant is derived from revenues generated by the organization’s for-profit entities and is redistributed to the non-profits according to their needs. In case of any divergence from SSSC’s integrity or mission, the SSSC board will communicate with the leadership of 3HO Europe.

WHERE

The SSSC is an Oregon nonprofit religious organization that oversees the numerous for-profit and nonprofit organizations created through the inspiration of Yogi Bhajan.

WHY

Why is the SSSC a religious entity? SSSC was formed as a nonprofit religious corporation in part to be the successor to Yogi Bhajan in his role as Siri Singh Sahib. SSSC’s status as a religious organization does not imply that its related organizations must also serve a religious mission.

The Board Members

Avtar Kaur

3HO Europe Chairwoman

I have dedicated myself to serve our European Community in the 3ho Europe Board for the last 10 years as I've always been nourished by the richness of diversity of our members.
Being myself Swiss and French, living in Germany for the last 21 years and teaching all over Europe as a trainer, I meet this reality of the beautiful facets of being a Kundalini Yogi (ni) on our continent.
The EYF has always been a source of inspiration and I always wished we would connect on a different level between each festival. The Covid situation has accelerated our capacity to connect with other means and the renewal of our executive as well as institutional teams shows that we are ready to enter a new phase of our European history with our strength, diversity and creativity for the future of Kundalini Yoga.

Japjit Kaur

3HO Europe Vice Chairwoman

My blessing is to have met Kundalini Yoga in Togo, Africa in 2008. My happiness is to teach it in France and to become a trainer with Ik Saran Dhian School. My motto is to transmit Joy through Service for a world where we learn to live with compassion, to be the leaders of this new era, respectful of Mother Earth. As a woman, I want to be part of the change.

Sarabjit Kaur

3HO Europe Board member

I am one of the first pioneers of Kundalini Yoga in Spain. Born in California I was sent by Yogi Bhajan to Barcelona in 1979 then to Madrid 1988. I am a level 1 and 2 lead trainer and have served my Kundalini community by serving as the vice president of the Spanish Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association, chairwoman of the European Khalsa Council and presently on the board of 3HO Europe.

Gurjit Singh Lalli

3HO Europe Board member

I was introduced to 3HO in 1999 by a fortunate stroke of serendipity, having been a practising Sikh for many decades it was a welcome gift. I was inspired by the work of the many wonderful people at 3HO and knew one day that I would join them, fast forward 2 decades and an opportunity arose to join the board. I am honoured to have been accepted and I am keen to support the community and we drive forth macro systematic structural change that the world urgently needs.

Angad Kaur

3HO Europe Board member

Based in the UK, I’ve been running Level 1 trainings since 2009 which also supports my passion for community-building and developing networks. I appreciate meeting people from all walks of life, serving a diversity of communities as an outreach yoga teacher and a Sikh & Interfaith Chaplain. As part of the EYF Gurdwara team, I’m inspired by 3HO Europe’s commitment to represent the integrity of timeless Dharmic teachings while being open to serve the changing times.

Prem Kaur

3HO Europe Board member

Born from a Swedish mother and a Mexican father I grew up in Crete and spent most of my adult life in the US, Mexico and India.For the last 2 years my family and I relocated in Spain. So for me representing our European sangat as a multicultural and multilingual person who is passionate about networking and community building is an evident choice.
I aspire to put my operational experience to work for the unity and prosperity of 3H0 Europe .I have been in service to the Dharma and the international community for 35 years. I am looking forward to working with the dedicated team of the 3ho Europe board and the expanding European community.

Guru Tej Singh Khalsa

3HO Europe Board member

I was raised as a Sikh in the 3HO community since my mother joined when I was a small boy in 1974. This community of kind and spiritually minded people has nurtured and supported me throughout my life. It is now my honor to offer my humble service to nurture and sustain the organization in turn.
