We are currently registering for Fall Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu Classes. Please go to our classes page for details.

From Completeness Comes Completeness

Divisive politics, conflicting priorities, relentless peer pressure on social media, despair over the future of the planet, a constant sense of impending doom, and the various pushes and pulls of familial and societal expectations, all stacked up against our desire to be good role models for our children - negotiating life in the 21st century is a formidable task. How do we locate our quiet, resilient core in the midst of such stormy seas? How do we ensure that we captain our little crafts with calm, clarity and a measure of contentment? 

In this two-part, interactive workshop, Roopa Pai shares some lessons and wisdoms, some road markers and guidelines, from India's most ancient texts.

Please register by October 31, there are limited seats. You are welcome to signup from all over the US, Canada and Europe.

Virtual Diwali Festival 2020!

Ramleela Shadow Puppet Show with The Culture Tree
Join The Culture Tree in a festive shadow puppet show! Diwali has its roots in ancient India and the epic Ramayan. Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravana come to life in the Ramleela Puppet Show. This famous epic story is a little mysterious, a little sad, but with a happy ending. The show will teach the meaning of true devotion, love, kindness and valor, all while learning why we celebrate Diwali.
