Cohorts impacted by collaborative learning

Over the past 10 years, these cohorts have met in 7 different cities throughout the United States and online across multiple time zones. They experience life-transforming, collaborative learning by actively working together to take new information, ideas, and skills and integrate them with what they already know or use them to reorganize what they thought they knew. Because participants come from diverse backgrounds, they have a variety of perspectives and experiences to contribute to and gain from the collaborative learning process.

Learners challenged to wrestle with new ideas

Our alumni live throughout North America and around the world. They have been challenged to see and confront sub-conscious cultural biases and barriers, and to live as humble colearners alongside their neighbors and coworkers from other religio-cultural communities.

A growing network of learners and contributors •

  • "The process was so transformative. Every area of life was touched and challenged and transformed in a good way."

    R.B. (2020 program alumnus)

  • "Before participating in Pranam I had very little exposure to or understanding of Hindu culture. While there will always be more to learn, the Pranam experience was a great introduction to many of the central elements of Hindu society and culture."

    C.S. (2020 program alumnus)

  • "I love how Pranam doesn't make any assumptions about where everyone is coming from. It seeks to get to the root of both Christian and Hindu cultures from an unbiased, yet informed perspective."

    J.M.G (2022 program alumnus)

  • "It is great material that is desperately needed."

    R.N. (2020 curriculum consultant)

  • "I appreciate the deep knowledge of the trainers. I appreciate that you do not shy away from hard or challenging topics."

    A.T. (2022 program alumnus)

  • "I love the intentionality of each session. It’s obvious that the desire isn't only to teach information, but to help each other engage thoughtfully with another beautiful culture and community."

    J.M.G. (2022 program alumnus)

  • "The Pranam Program was the best training I've ever had to learn to relate well to friends in Hindu cultures in South Asia and the diaspora...I can't imagine being well-prepared for the complexities of Hindu culture without this training. I highly recommend it."

    P.N. (2019 program alumnus)

  • "It is very well thought out and it builds upon itself nicely. It is vastly, vastly superior to anything that I am aware of."

    T.S. (2020 curriculum consultant)

  • "I have appreciated the use of different teaching and learning styles in the modules. This allows for my brain to stay engaged."

    A.T. (2022 program alumnus)

  • "Along with introducing me to Hindu culture this program also caused me to refine my understanding what it means to be a follower of Jesus. There is no doubt in my mind that the things I learned in Pranam will significantly change every aspect of my family's daily life in India; how we interact with people, the things we do, how we do them, and even why we are there at all will be healthier and more honoring to others and Lord Jesus because of Pranam."
