The university community like University of Guelph, McMaster University and University of Toronto have clubs similar to this promoting Vedic principles and philosophies. With an increasingly influential “next generation” in these ever-growing communities, we also thought it was about time to bring the young people from these organizations together to discuss the ideas we were brought up with and celebrate the unity in our diversities in an academic setting. Want to challenge a narrative you were taught? We probably do too!
You don’t need prior experience with any of these ideas to join our club. Bring your own opinions, approaches to life and concerns and let’s learn from each other! Our goal is to create a network of like-minded deep thinkers on campus through chill discussions, free workshops, musical meditation and more.

These conversations happen during our events, where we offer a blend of an enjoyable music listening experience, interactive games, a performance from a local artist, and serious dialogue that fosters a deeper understanding of public health issues in the realm of hip-hop and the local community. There’s beauty in your favourite rapper’s struggle.
