Today's guest is Siriji Lamenzo, born Siri Sunderta Kaur Khalsa in 1976 in Hartford, CT. Most of her family on her mom's side are all in 3HO. Grandma, 3 aunts, and lots of cousins. She has 2 older sisters who also were born and raised in 3ho and “swapped”, sent to India etc.
She was sent to India in 1983 at age 7. Went to GNFC and GRD, came home in 1991. She did all the usual 3HO things--children's camp, India, etc. She never felt any connection to 3HO. And never got into doing yoga or meditation.
She removed herself as best as she could after finishing high school in Espanola, and has been open about her own negative experiences in India and with 3HO for as long as she can remember.
She’s spent many, many years unravelling the trauma of the 3HO upbringing and the effects it's had on her life and who she is.
