The Sikh Research Institute has teamed up with the Sikh Coalition for a Mark of Excellence retreat. It’s a day long event this Saturday.
MARK OF EXCELLENCE: Becoming Guru Centered
Mark of Excellence is a series of lectures, presentations and workshops specifically catered to meet the needs and desires of a particular audience.
Essentially, participants attend personal and community development sessions that seek to foster the Sikh values based on Gurmat traditions: Sikh scripture, history, and discipline. Other principles of universal significance are also incorporated that do not disturb the harmony of the Sikh faith.
The Sikh Research Institute offers a variety of theme-oriented sessions for emerging leaders in the community - high school, college students, young professionals and adults. Each event seeks to facilitate learning while enhancing personal development and growth for each participant.
Through each program, workshop presenters provide an opportunity for the participants to ask questions and seek an answer through discussion and interpretation.
