Various locations03 Nov '19 to 17 Nov '19 @ 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM

    As part of its ongoing commitment to embolden Sikh women, Kaur Project, a Sikh women’s organization based in Surrey, is planning to engage the community at large with five events and workshops that focus on the “Power of Self” to mark the 550th birth-anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhi.

    Connecting and creating spaces for Kaurs on their self-identification journey via storytelling has been the focus of Kaur Project. The organization, a movement for Kaurs, is championing women to self-reflect, build community, heal, and expand. “As Kaurs, the 550th anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji provides the perfect opportunity to continue our journey of identifying, refining and cultivating who we are and how Sikhi connects to our modern times and lives. As an organization, this pivotal anniversary provides momentum to harness the powerful knowledge Kaurs within our community to enable Kaurs to build workshops to share, learn, and cultivate our courageous identities,” says Kaur Project creator Jessie Kaur Lehail.
