Learn from your contemporaries at the retreat, each one of who has started their own micro revolution, whether it be in terms of politics, law, environment, service and activism. Ask questions and get insight into how you can ensure your project sees the light of day, or how you can be a part of existing ones and help them grow. #syan2017 #syanagurmatretreat #seeyounextweek!!!
How does Gurbani define a true Bhagat? What is the true Bhagati of a Bhagat? Learn from reputed scholars of gurbani on what qualities and criteria distinguish a Bhagat from the rest of society. #syana2017#syanagurmatretreat #seeyousoon!
Immerse yourselves into the emotional journey of what it is like to walk the path of the bhagats. In a Q/A format, S. Kuldeep Singh will talk about his experiences and the people he has met that have followed the path. Conducted in an intimate setting, get a glimpse of how the Guru’s path is truly unique and not for the faint of heart. #syana2017#syanagurmatretreat #seeyouthere

Be a part of this challenging team exercise at SYANA Gurmat Retreat to figure out how to answer our own questions about the moral, social, political, religious, environmental and economics problems that plague the world today.

“Often times what makes the headlines or hits the history books are those prolific leaders and the milestone events, but that’s rarely where revolutions begin.” – Rubin Paul Singh
As current events have shown us, to take a stand and bring about a paradigm shift requires an enormous change in social thinking. Gurbani and Sikh history tell us that every small action and effort adds up, brings down regimes, alters cultural mindsets and inspires generations forever. Be a part of this intense creative group discussion at SYANA Gurmat Retreat and develop the skills to bring about micro revolutions of your own. #syana2017 #onemoreweek #seeyouthere
In one of the workshops at SYANA Gurmat Retreat we will learn from our glorious past of Sikh History, of Singhs and Kaurs that sacrificed their all to walk on this difficult path. How they dealt with adversity, and challenged the status quo. Santbir Singh will regale you with the stories of sikhs from the Guru’s period, the times of the Misl, Khalsa Raj, and even contemporary times. These examples of historical figures will illustrate how time and time again, gursikhs have been inspired by Gurbani to walk on the edges of swords.

This SYANA Gurmat Retreat workshop will bring the message of the shabad close to heart. How we are challenged every day in our personal lives, whether in our family, social, religious or political spheres. How do we implement the values of gurbani in our everyday modern lives and follow the path that the gursikhs of the past set. #syana2017 #areyouin#seeyouthere

This interactive workshop will allow participants to understand and explore the meanings and myriads of translations through discussions. Shabads from gurbani that expand on this general theme: the path of the saintly ones, the qualities that make a bhagat and how it is possible to attain them will be introduced by the moderators to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic.⠀
