Secrets of the Heart
Zawiyah in Costa Rica
Facilitated by Jamila and Nasir
Set out on a journey of rebirth among nature’s most beautiful offerings. Awaken from winter's introspection and ready your heart, soul and body to welcome Allah's light of renewal and growth.
Come rekindle your unique connection with the Divine; exploring and unveiling the intricacies of our spiritual organ. As you journey within, take the opportunity to be in awe of Allah's magnificent creation; enjoy Costa Rica's unspoiled, bio-diverse and adventure-filled nature.
Come be in community for seven transformative days; filled with state shifting Sufi practices, soul nourishing meals and heart expanding experiences; all on the beautiful chocolate sand beaches of Costa Rica's Central Pacific Coast. In this Zawiyah (Spiritual Retreat) we will study from the book Secrets of the Heart.
