Event Details

The retreat will feature interactive workshops and discussions that will explore topics such as understanding the Guru, exploring our relationship with the Guru, Sikh identity and culture, visiting our recent and past history , Sikh politics and activism. We will utilize an interdisciplinary approach featuring spiritual, philosophical, cultural, historical, political, and activist angles to explore these diverse topics. There will also be different fun activities, sports and games to engage us. We hope to challenge participants to gain a broader and more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a Sikh while inspiring activism. Participants will have the opportunity to learn to translate and interpret shabads, do prakash seva, take hukam, do ardas, and make Deg. However, the aim of Saanjh is not only to provide information and insight on Sikhi, but create an intimate environment where we can imbue ourselves with love for the Guru. It will bring together individuals from different backgrounds in a spirit of collective understanding, learning and sharing experiences. For a motivating, stimulating, and moving experience, come join us in Saanjh.
