Awakening the Soul:
Reconnecting with Allah & Purpose

• "There's nothing more important that you can do for yourself or your family than to understand how to be a present and grounded Man in a way that connects--or reconnects--you with Allah. I've never felt as much at peace than the days following this retreat."

• "It was a marvelous experience which helped me connect with Allah (swt) at a level that I never imagined."

• "The retreat was a spiritually enriching experience, fostering a profound sense of connection to Allah, self-reflection, and inner peace through prayer, contemplation, and quiet solitude."

• "This retreat is a necessary experience for Muslim men—and for me personally. It helped me reconnect and be reminded of the purpose of our existence."

Breakthrough & Transformation:
Lasting Change from Within

• "Alhamdulillah I can confidently say this has been a life-changing experience. The silence, no distractions, and the lessons were extremely impactful, I am so grateful and blessed to have been able to attend. I will 100% recommend this retreat to all my friends and family."

• "Alhamdulillah, this retreat has been a life-changing experience for me. This retreat helped me gain clarity on life and how to be more present. The lessons, combined with the silent periods and journaling, really helped me to understand and internalize key points."

• "This retreat helped me reconnect with my purpose, push beyond my comfort zone, and gain spiritual and emotional clarity. The structure—from detox and silence to brotherhood and action—was intentional and transformative. It created real growth, deep reflection, and meaningful bonds. Every Muslim man I know could benefit from an experience like this."

• "The peace I felt in the days after was unlike anything I've experienced."

• "it honestly was one of the most amazing experiences I've had. I didn't realize how much noise existed inside and around me and this gave me the opportunity to slow down and break out of the autopilot mode that I've existed in for so long without even realizing it."

• "this was a wake up call. Nothing changes overnight but a shock to the system like this forces you to rethink and recalibrate and...there are absolutely elements of it that I am trying to implement on a daily basis."

• "I had been feeling stuck for a while, and I just needed something to help me move forward. This retreat was the tool that Allah gave me to help me get unstuck."

• "I believe most, if not all, brothers want to grow and improve themselves in all aspects. We’re at point A and seek or at least aspire to reach point B but the challenge is taking initiative and figuring out how. Alhumdulillah, this retreat was one of the most enlightening, liberating, and profound experiences of my life. I started the retreat hoping to walk away with any new knowledge, skills, and/or tools to fuel my growth towards pleasing Allah and I can certainly say this was definitely accomplished thanks to your meticulous planning, execution, and support and by the mercy of Allah!"

The Way of the Khalifa, Qawwam, Shepherd & Wali: Manhood, Leadership & Family

• "I will absolutely recommend this to any Muslim man seeking to become a better version of themselves as well as a capable leader. The lessons we learned were gradual and helped reframe perspective on our role as servants of Allah and leaders of our families."

• "A beautiful opportunity to recalibrate, reset, and dive deeper into yourself with the goals of attaining nearness to Allah and fulfilling your roles as a father, husband, and brother with Ihsan."

• "My family and wife noticed the difference in me when I returned home. In fact, I wished I had implemented some of the advice years ago."

• "I benefitted as to how to show up for my wife and family; leading with direction and conviction instead of autopilot-like reactiveness to the day. I learned how to respond instead of just reacting."

• "The retreat by Allah's mercy and guided by Br. Yasir provides the right balance of peaceful downtime to reflect upon to be a more grounded man to lead one's life and for those who depend on us. It helps to know our obligations and how to set boundaries."

• "We are in need. I think men desperately need to remasculate in a healthy, Allah guided, Khalifa for family and community. The retreat provides a well balanced frame, and the lessons were so good."

Living with Presence:
Experiencing and Practices for a Grounded Life

• "In an age where we're constantly on devices having a detox like this is absolutely essential. But combining the mindfulness together with our Islamic values is what makes this so unique and beneficial for the Muslim Man."

• "The powerful tools we learned like meditation, journaling or trying to get to the point of being able to see my thoughts and then choosing what to let in are things I'm hoping to continue to integrate."

• "It is crazy how many thoughts we consume in a day and I frankly would just consume it and it would take over me. The exercise was the first time in my life where I actually had a practical exercise to put me in check."

• "I feel a sense of calm and mindful presence rather than anxiety fueled by the news cycle and fragmented attention caused by overly chatting with family and friends. I’m also appreciating evaluating my thoughts and feelings in a constructive manner while keeping in mind lessons learned."

• "It was an amazing time. I was able to get to know myself and gain clarity from this experience. I benefited greatly from this retreat."

• "What a blessing. The silence and solitude were a challenge but also very liberating. The lessons gave me lots to reflect on and how to apply them in my life in areas that I recognized that I needed to address."

• "The process allowed my heart to soften and mind to focus on appreciating life."

• "It was like cleaning the lenses of my glasses after not realizing I had been looking through dirty lenses for a long time."

• "I think every person (man or woman) should partake a silent retreat like this at least once a year and preferably more frequently. We're all stuck on a hamster wheel until we realize there's more to life and in the fast paced existence we have today theres really no way to truly feel human until you exist the way humans were meant to exist."
