Singhs Camp: Abhyaas Focused Sikh Retreat


Recommended Posts

This summer's camp will be held at Camp Hope in Hope, British Columbia. It will run from August 16 to August 21. The main purpose of this camp is to help individuals in spiritual advancement and to strengthen their knowledge and appreciation of the power of Gurbani and Naam Simran meditation. The daily schedule will include early-morning Simran meditation, Nitnem Gurbani recitation, Asa-ki-vaar keertan, breakfast, resting time, Sukhmani Sahib recitation, break, lunch, discussion, recreation, snack, change time, Rehiras Sahib recitation and keertan, followed by dinner. The schedule may be changed to accomodate for different activities, although the focus will be on “kamaee” or spiritual earning throughout the day. Camp Hope provides a peaceful and secluded atmosphere and the campsite has excellent facilities including numerous exciting recreational activities.

That's amazing. This type of camp should be 3-4 times a year all over the western world.

Sounds excellent, great positive work - a camp that is open to Sikhs of all denominations and which creates focus on the core liturgicaldiet for Khalsa Panth.

Hopefully we will see these sorts of camps in Europe soon too.

Could I ask who will be leading/teaching the recitation/santhiya?

just found out they are not doing santhya anymore. probably wouldn't have had time anyway. now it's going to be a sukhmani sahib workshop.

Can anybody recommend a good DEEP sukhmani sahib katha??

Proper miltary type schedule..which is good..this is one's chance to be consistent in their schedule later after the camp. I wish they may want to put nitneem first then simran same timing....reason being when one gets up early..naturally one wants go to sleep as body is slowly getting attuned to be totally refresh....one needs to get all their fragment thoughts together which reading nitneem will help to focus and then one will feel more attuned when doing simran..anyway just an thought and suggestion.

I agree with you. But alot of people start off first doing Simran, and doing Nitnem after Simran. I personally do Nitnem first because when I do simran first I sometimes fall asleep.
