L–R: Shabad Kaur Khalsa, Shiva Singh Khalsa, M. Taylor, and Lisa Faremouth Weber

On Sunday, June 2, Kundalini yoga teachers Shiva Singh and Shabad Kaur Khalsa hosted a graduation party for Lisa at their home in Evanston. Guests gathered in the backyard for homemade chai before the party officially began with a playing of the gong by Shiva Singh as everyone relaxed in chairs, entering into a meditative state. Next, Lisa gave a short presentation about her thesis, the subject of which was “Yoga as an Embodiment Pathway for the Adjunct Treatment for Eating Disorders.” She then guided us in a meditation, inspired us with a few sacred readings and personal stories, and led us in a chant that had special meaning to her. Joyful dancing and singing followed, also led by Lisa. Afterward, a scrumptious vegan buffet was served, followed by djembe drumming by professional drummer M. Taylor. Shiva Singh and Shabad Kaur passed out a wide variety of percussion instruments to the guests to accompanying the drumming. Everyone had a wonderful time celebrating and reconnecting with other yogis.
