Sidak: Faith. Courage. Discipline.
21 July – 3 August | Mission, British Columbia, Canada
Every year, The Sikh Research Institute holds Sidak, a distinctive leadership development program for young adults seeking to increase their commitment towards the Sikh faith. This two-week intensive immersion in Sikh culture, language, values and community through understanding bānī (scripture), tvārīkh (history), and rahit (discipline), will be held from July 21st to August 3rd, 2016 at the Khalsa Centre in British Columbia. Overlooking Miracle Valley, the 160 acres border of the Khalsa Centre is enveloped in majestic trees on multiple Lakes amidst breathtaking beauty in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. This unique learning opportunity will help young adults discover your inner-self, build stronger relationships, and infuse the Sikh spirit in future goals and successes.
