Karan Khalsa is an entrepreneur who has spent the last two decades running businesses that create community and transformation. She is the founder and patron of Mahai Retreat while also running as well as Spirit Voyage Records, Sat Nam Fest and Sat Nam Foundation.
Before Karan started her journey as a businesswoman, her passion was writing. She studied Literature and Education at Marymount University in Virginia, and then later Creative Writing at Goddard College. She believes that writing is both an art and a form of medicine, and it is part of her own journey of healing. In her workshops, Karan creates a supportive space for participants to explore writing as a pathway to introspection, creativity, therapy, and personal growth.
