“It was a great
program, and really made
me think more about my
relationship with my spouse.
I was forced to think also
where I am wrong. I came
to know more about myself
and think more to correct my
vices. I hope I do more so
that both of us can achieve
the goal of one soul, from
The Remembrance to
The Discipline. I will highly
recommend this program
to others.”

“This program has
served as good reflection
on married life. I have
discovered few things where
improvement is needed. The
fact of the matter is you in
your sub-conscious mind
know however it need some
catalytic action to bring those
things in forefront. Looking
life in future. How one would
like to see themselves
in another fifty years. IT
was very good practical
approach.”

Grihast : Becoming One Spirit
The Grihast Retreat is a 3-day event for young married couples to strengthen their values in marriage and family relationships. Grihast incorporates diverse themes that are at the foundation of a married life. New perspectives provide insights on building meaningful relationships while workshops and discussions offer a glimpse of the Guru’s vision and ideals on marriage.
Grihast offers a contemplative and reflective environment to work on personal development through various activities, educational presentations, and group discussions. Topics range from fostering deeper relationships with family to management skills and improving communication techniques.
Realization and understanding of marital roles and expectations are explored through examples from Sikh faith and culture. Throughout the various sessions, couples are given insight on the direction of what marriage should be, according to the Sikh vision of the ‘householder living’ as demonstrated by the Guru.
Outlooks are derived from the text and spirit of the Guru Granth Sahib as well as from personal reflections and experiences.
