Have you experienced any (or all) of these issues?

• Struggling to surrender to reality?
• Seeking a deeper connection with your Creator?
• Unsure of your life's purpose or direction?

If your answer is in affirmative, you will inshallah benefit greatly from attending this year's retreat led by the Quranic scholar, Dr. Yamina Bouguenaya.
