Gaja Collective

What Does "Gaja" Mean?

In Sanskrit, Gaja means elephant—a symbol of wisdom, learning, and abundance. These qualities represent everything we aspire to create with Gaja Collective–a space where you can embrace greater wisdom, feel supported in your growth, and experience abundance in all areas of your life.

Founded by Dallas Brown, Gaja Collective is the new home for Chopra Education’s online courses, certifications, and the broader Chopra community.

With over 14 years of leadership experience, Dallas has worked alongside Deepak Chopra to foster a global movement of conscious living. Gaja Collective is the next chapter of that journey, designed to bring us all together to continue learning, sharing, and supporting each other.

We invite you to join us in this community—a place where you can pursue your personal growth, engage with like-minded individuals, and access educational resources that are as relevant today as they’ve ever been. Whether you're a seasoned educator or just starting your journey, there’s a place for you here.

A Note from Dallas

Hello, and welcome to Gaja Collective!

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. For over 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting the Chopra community, helping to share teachings that have the power to deeply impact lives. Gaja Collective is a natural extension of this mission—a place where we come together not just to learn, but to grow and connect with others on the same path.

We are more than just students or teachers; we are a community. A community that learns from each other, celebrates one another’s growth, and supports each other in our pursuit of well-being. I’m committed to nurturing this space, where wisdom and connection meet and flourish.

I can’t wait to see how this community grows with you, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

With love,
Dallas Brown
