5X Festival

Finding a sense of belonging through conversation and sangat.

Decibel Warehouse

In honour of Sikh Heritage Month, 5X is partnering with Sikh Heritage BC to create a space for people in our community to come together, connect, and discuss what Sikhi means to them. Surrey and Metro-Vancouver are home to the biggest Sikh diaspora in North America, however, it’s become common for many people to feel unsafe or disenfranchised in Sikh spaces. Many of us may have struggled with our identity at some point in time, and may have deemed ourselves as “not Sikh enough.”Join us on April 18th in Surrey for an open community discussion led by Manveer Singh, followed by a grounding meditation led by Rajkanwal Kaur. This will be a seated gathering, so please feel free to bring a yoga mat, pillow and/or any other forms of support. This event takes place on the Unceded Territories of the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwikwetlem, Kwantlen, Qayqayt and Tsawwassen First Nations.5X HARASSMENT POLICY:We have a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism and religious discrimination. We do not tolerate any and all forms of hate speech, obscene comments and gestures, intimidation, abuse, or hostility.
