For the first time, TSR will kick off our family-friendly retreat a day earlier on the evening of Wednesday, December 31st, featuring an optional but very special New Year retreat Kirtan Darbar.
Join us for a beautiful evening of kirtan and simran as we close out 2025 and welcome in 2026 during this memorable Sikhi retreat!
Don't worry - we'll all get to sleep in on New Year's morning!
Age-appropriate workshops explore Gurbani, Sikh history, and rehat-based living through interactive learning and reflection.
Morning and evening divans bring the sangat together in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib for nitnem, kirtan, and hukam reflections that centre the retreat in on Sabad.
From icebreakers and outdoor adventures to conversation clubs, open-mic nights, and late-night discussions, activities help build genuine community and connection.
Our dedicated kitchen sevadars prepare fresh, healthy, and delicious meals and snacks that nourish the body and support the spirit.
At TSR, children learn through Sikh stories, gurmat-inspired songs, simple Simran, creative activities, and outdoor play that help them connect with core values like seva, nimratā, and dayā in a joyful and nurturing environment.
Pre-teens explore their Sikh identity through interactive gurmat workshops, creative projects rooted in sabad themes, team-building activities, and guided sangat discussions that encourage confidence, curiosity, and living with chardī kalā.
Youth and adults dive deeper into Sikhi through sabad-based workshops, vichār circles, reflective exercises, and discussions on living gurmat principles in everyday life, all designed to strengthen personal growth and collective sangat.
Parents participate in gurmat-focused sessions on nurturing Sikhi within the home, cultivating daily discipline (rehat) with children, and building supportive sangat networks while navigating modern family responsibilities.
This year’s theme, Igniting the Sant Sipahi Spirit, invites us to rediscover the balance at the heart of Sikhi, where inner stillness and outer courage work together. Our family-friendly retreat encourages members of the Sikh community to join in this journey. The Sant Sipahi embodies a deep connection to the Divine through simran (remembrance), humility, and sabad-centred living, while also standing fearlessly for justice, compassion, and truth in the world. Throughout this New Year retreat, we will explore how to cultivate this spirit within ourselves, strengthen it through sangat, and carry it into our families, schools, workplaces, and communities, making it a meaningful Sikh retreat experience.
