History of Women's Camp In 1976 Yogi Bhajan first invited the women of 3HO to come together in New Mexico. He said that women must gather together to renew themselves; away from families, work and the pressures of life. He said it is a basic requirement for a woman to arrange her life so that she can focus on her own Self. Women’s Camp was created and defined as an environment of challenge and excellence. Here, woman can build her own positive caliber by letting go of limiting neuroses and negative self-image. Annually, since then, women have gathered in New Mexico; to nurture, nourish and strengthen themselves, so that they may truly bask in the light of their sisters and their own true selves, and reflect that light outwards to others.
