GuruSurya Kaur Khalsa (she/her) has been leading groups outdoors since 1996. GuruSurya loves birds and studies bird language and the art of mentoring with 8 Shields. She has been an An Environmental Educator with Portland Parks & Recreation for over a decade. She recently completed a 12 week mindfulness training focused on healing trauma through somatic inquiry and breathwork. In the past, Gurusurya has enjoyed teaching nature-based art and science classes with Saturday Academy, and is beyond excited to be joining us this summer to continue the fun!
“In class and in the world everyone, I mean everyone, has something to contribute - gifts to share. My role is to see those gifts in others and encourage cultivation.”
A fun fact about Gurusurya: Each day she wakes up extremely early to practice yoga and meditation.
