Chardi Kala Retreat
Asian American Mental Health Retreat – FREE Virtual Program on ZOOM
Chardi Kala is a Punjabi term for aspiring to maintain a mental state of eternal optimism and joy. To be in ‘Chardi Kala’ is the ability to rise above adversity, challenges and difficult times. It is to accept whatever is going on in our lives with gratitude and with a neutral mind. Trying not to judge it as something negative or positive but rather something that was meant to happen.
