Begin the New Year By Reflecting On Sikhi

In the coming New Year spend January attending two Sikh events-one in Canada and the other in the United States.  The Toronto Sikh Retreat and Surat Sikh Conference will be taking place during the first half of January 2010.

Toronto Sikh Retreat is a 4-day retreat in the outskirts of Toronto in a winter wonderland.  It will take place from January 7-10, 2010. Sikhs of various ages from around the world come together to learn, discuss and reflect on various Sikh issues to better understand ourselves and the world around us from a Sikh perspective.  With a limit of 65 spaces, the retreat provides an intimate environment for intellectual and spiritual growth through small group discussions, lectures, kirtan diwans, and creative projects (in-door and outdoor).  Visit the retreat website and watch the video for more information.  Registration is NOW open- take advantage of the early bird special!

The Surat Sikh Conference will bring together 180 Sikh professionals in New York City & New Jersey during Martin Luther King Jr. long weekend (January 15-18, 2010) to share, learn, and reflect on the theme “A Journey Through Ardas”.  Through guest speakers, workshops, and a nonprofit poster session, the goal of the conference is to provide a space of introspection for participants on how to view the world through a Sikh perspective. Participants attend kirtan diwans, have intellectual conversations and enjoy outdoor activities. Visit the conference website and watch the video under the “About” section  for more information. Registration will open on December 5th!
