Assalaam alaikum,

This is just a heads up to everyone. Inshallah we'll be having another retreat like we did last year, probably around may/june in the Adirondack Mountains. It was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly good and spiritual. You can ask se7en, me or lightningatnite, insaaf or other albanyians who attended. So let me know if you're interested so i'll keep you posted inshallah.

as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatAllahi wa barakatuh,

This retreat last year was one of the most amazing things I've ever attended.  The scene is absolutely beautiful, to the point of being surreal.  We had the main sessions in this little wooden cabin right along side this huge lake, and under br. mokhtar's words about purifying and cleansing these hard hearts of ours we could hear the waves pound against the rocks on shore.  SubhanAllah, it was a dream for me, that area one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

We thought we'd be roughing it in the woods, but the accomodations were like hotel rooms, and extremely cheap.  Come if you can, indeed it'll impact you.

wasalaam.

Assalam ualykum,

Well, I wanted to finish up on all my basics so I can go to Egypt early and I was planing on taking a dozen classes this summer. BUT if the retreat is held in between the two sessions of summer classes, then I can come inshallah. OR if it is held before the summer classes begin, I can still come. So what date is it?

wassalam
