| I would say When the cats away the mice will play ;) But knowing Jannah she will be turning the 'BEAR' (Br Bhaloo) out on us to keep a watchful eye :D All the sisters going, I hope you have a wonderful time. May Allah keep you all safe and help you all to get a lot out of the retreat. |

| slm, The retreat is about 10-12 days. Basically it is an islamic spiritual camp.. so we are up in the mountains in cabins and lodges and we have classes in a lakeside lodge and we go hiking and canoeing and we have classes everyday on tazkiyah and other reminders and stuff its really good to "cleanse your soul" :) |

| [slm] I know I lament every year, and probably will continue to do, as long as i suffer yet another year of no retreat. during my evening walks across a nearby lake, i alwayz smell the fresh pine trees, feel the humid summer breeze, hear the festivities of the bugs, ducks and geeze and imagine just for a split of a moment...that I am in the mountains, reminiscing the lessons emanating from the beautiful soul of our teacher...and for a moment i am taken someplace else... just for too brief a moment, before i wake up with an aching heart and realize not "this time"...not for a while. i miss the retreat with a homesick feeling, that bittersweet ache that suffers from separation and yet is gladdened to have experienced something so rare, so precious, in a world full of mundane trifles and junk chaos. May Allah reward the organizers, retreaters, and may He increase the Sheikh with ever increasing Eman and eloquence to continue moving hearts, and providing moments for the lost, stray and misguided to realize there is only One goal worth striving for...and only one short life to submit, for eternal respite... amin. To all the retreaters, make the most of this blessing that Allah has afforded you..and don't take one fleeting moment for granted. May Allah continue to bless and guide you all. sigh... [wlm] |

| as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah, I have found nothing in this world as heart-awakening and soul-nourishing as the retreat. the retreat has also been the place at which many of us who knew each other from the board met in person :) subhan'Allah.. we clicked so easily and had so many beautiful experiences together.. which confirms for me the immense barakah that the retreat holds. I can't wait :-X |
