At Sikh Recovery Network, we host a variety of events designed to support individuals on their recovery journey while fostering a strong sense of community. Our workshops and retreats provide a safe space for self-reflection, healing, and personal growth, whether in the peaceful countryside or at dedicated recovery retreats abroad.
We also organize charity challenges, such as mountain climbs and fundraising walks, to raise awareness and funds for our mission. Our regular support meetings and Zoom sessions ensure ongoing guidance, connection, and encouragement for those in recovery. Every event is rooted in Sikh values of Seva (selfless service), Sangat (community), and Simran (spiritual reflection), helping individuals rebuild their lives with faith, resilience, and support.
