Mass Violence, Genocide, and Their Lasting Impact on Indigenous Peoples: The Americas and Australia/Pacific Region

On Monday, November 23, 2026, Guru Singh will lead a contemplative gathering at Universidad Nacional de Río Negro in Bariloche addressing Mass Violence, Genocide, and Their Lasting Impact on Indigenous Peoples across the Americas and Australia/Pacific region. This live session blends Kundalini yoga practices—guided meditation, pranayama, and kriyas—with philosophical inquiry into collective trauma and healing.

Singh's approach bridges Eastern spiritual frameworks with awareness of specific historical injustices. Rather than delivering an academic lecture, he uses the yogic toolkit of breathwork, mantra, and meditation to explore how mass violence persists in collective memory and how contemplative practice can support grief processing and reconciliation. Drawing from the Kundalini lineage established by Yogi Bhajan, Singh emphasizes the philosophical and energetic dimensions of practice, making esoteric concepts accessible without diluting their depth.

This Bariloche gathering is participatory and introspective—expect periods of seated meditation, vocal work with Sanskrit mantras, possible gentle movement, and teaching that weaves Kundalini philosophy with the evening's focus on Indigenous trauma and healing consciousness. Singh's language consistently bridges Eastern spiritual concepts with Western psychological understanding.

This experience suits those drawn to meditative practices, yogic philosophy, and somatic approaches to collective healing—particularly those interested in how spiritual traditions intersect with social and historical consciousness. It will not suit those seeking high-energy movement classes, entertainment-focused events, or purely academic discussions of Indigenous history. The gathering assumes openness to yogic concepts of energy and consciousness, though prior Kundalini experience is not required.
