Sakinah Retreats mission is to foster an essence of ‘Sakinah’—a tranquil state of the soul, a serene harmony that resonates within.
Our Story
Sakinah Retreats launched in January of 2024, it's mission resonating with thousands of Muslim women around the world. Our ethos is 'Find Your Peace,' inviting you to explore the path to tranquility through spiritual grounding, mindfulness, and immersion in the pristine beauty of nature. Our retreats curate an environment that encourages introspection, spiritual growth, and a reconnection with fitrah.
At Sakinah retreats, we delve into the profound practice of Tafakkur, guiding you to reflect deeply on the magnificence of Allah—immersing ourselves in His names, His creation, blessings, and unparalleled greatness. This intentional time of introspection and surrender paves the path toward a profound spiritual journey, one where we find sakinah in these troubled times, a community of likeminded sisters and a rekindled connection with our Creator.
Past retreat locations in NSW have included the Central Coast, Berry, the Southern Highlands and Hunter Valley. We offer opportunities such as hikes, social events and domestic retreats based in Sydney, Australia. We will be going international with our retreats later this year! We cannot wait to welcome you on this journey to sakinah.
Our Ethos
The Qur'anic term "Sakinah" appears six times across three chapters of the Quran. Renowned Muslim commentators and Quran translators often render "Sakinah" as "calmness and tranquility," derived from the root "Sakan." However, lexicographers suggest a deeper understanding, portraying "Sakinah" as the "divine, glorious presence and manifestation" experienced by believers in specific circumstances.
Sakinah Retreats is a reflection of this yearning, with a mission to foster and cultivate an essence of 'Sakinah'—a tranquil state of the soul, a serene harmony that resonates within. Our retreats are a sanctuary for those seeking to rediscover their inherent peace, reconnecting with their fitrah (natural disposition) in a transformative journey.
Our ethos revolves around the slogan 'Find Your Peace,' inviting participants to explore the path to tranquility through spiritual grounding, mindfulness, and immersion in the pristine beauty of nature. Our retreats curate an environment that encourages introspection, spiritual growth, and a reconnection with the essence of one's being. Our focus at Sakinah Retreats remains on the journey itself—the reawakening of the soul, the revitalisation of the spirit, and the establishment of oneness within oneself and with the Divine.
