Do you remember Sisters Debra and Stephanie from the book 'Islam Our Choice' They are having a wonderful Sisters Only retreat this year Insha Allah I plan to attend. I thought many of you might be interested. Here is the Info Sis Stephanie says this will be: Lectures for sure, classes in the form of informative and interactive sessions. Sister time, trying to break down the cultural barriers and stand together. We intend to eat together, live together and share the joys and difficulties of women of Islam in America today. She also says: We intend to present information that will enhance our minds, spirits and hearts. We intend to walk in there as relatives and to come out a family. Here is the announcement: :-) Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barkatu dear Sisters in Islam! Insha'Allah all is well with you and blessings are abundant, as well as obvious, in your life. As some of you may know, Debra and I are working to create an annual SISTERS ONLY weekend spiritual retreat. This year it will most likely be in October. Currently we are looking to schedule a facility that can hold between 100-200 sisters. As many of you have had the opportunity to attend events around the country we are asking that you provide us with the names and sites of any facility you have been to that you found particularly delightful or that you feel might meet the needs of our group. We do need to have housing either at this location, or relatively close by and we will be providing halal meals as well as seminars, speakers etc. We are looking for a facility where we can pretty much close ourselves off and all sisters can go hijab free. If you have an idea, please share. We look forward to hearing from you within the next couple of days - time's a wastin'! God's Blessings and Protection - Stephanie :-) Last note from azizah, they are hoping to have this on the east coast and something was mentioned of mid states area so accessable to all, kind of in the middle. If anyone has recommendations as to facilities please email Sister stephanie at TParlove@aol.com |
