CHYK West Organizational Retreat 2012
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
CHYK West, along with the guidance of Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda functions as the guiding body of the Chinmaya Yuva Kendra or youth wing chapters across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
With the onset of 2012, youth representatives gathered at Chinmaya Saaket, Dallas/Fort Worth to strategize the operations of the body for the new year, to address the common challenges faced by centres and inevitably to inspire workers to continue the mighty vision of Pujya Gurudev.
The one-day retreat included sharing of goals, descriptions of local situations, brainstorming solutions and sharing new ideas for Chyk activities in the Dragon's Den! Noteworthy is the role of the Dragon played by Swami Sarveshanandaji, National Director of the Chyk West and an invaluable component of the machinery.
Many left the retreat with a wealth of guiding principles supported by the Chyk West body through its newly established Chyk Manual. This resource answers many questions on how Chyk centres can be established and managed in order to best achieve the goal of harnessing youth potential through dynamic spirituality.
Consider Chyk....don't be a chicken!
