In the Name of The Most Merciful,
We welcome you to join us for our first ladies’ futuwwa programme. This programme has been carefully curated as a village for women to reconnect and revive the wisdom of ilm, Adab, khidmah, craftsmanship and sunnah sports whilst honouring the feminine fitra and rhythm.
From 11-18 July, across 6 days and 7 nights, we will spend our days in remembrance as we serve through the land or preparing meals, and witness The Divine attributes as we create herbal medicines, drum and sing, use clay and plants to create art, and tend to our nafs as we swim, hike and practice archery.
In the company of:
Shakirah Sabira is the founder of Barakah’s Womb and Spiritual Islamic Womb Custodian and teacher.
Aamirah Patel is trained in naturopathy from the Unani medicine tradition and as a postpartum. Aamirah has been blessed to learn from and work with many different communities, and sees the womb as an integral part of women’s ability to connect with themselves. She is deeply passionate about restoring life force Qi, by equipping women with the tools to understand their different internal seasons, how this affects their temperament and find the gifts in their cyclical nature. She loves facilitating sisters’ circles and spaces where women can authentically connect and share their experiences and learnings.
Razina Patel is the founder of Rawdah Rhythms, a space where individuals connect to faith, creativity, and ancestral traditions through drumming, song, nasheeds, storytelling, and play. Drawing on somatic practices and healing through voice, music, and body, Razina creates spaces for self-discovery and connection. Her work invites presence, creative expression, and joy. She has supported refugees, taught in Montessori settings, and teaches Qur'an with a focus on Tajwid. These experiences deepen her ability to hold space for others. Her work is rooted in connection to self, to others, and to the Divine.
Farah Hernández, professional potter, crafter and plant enthusiast. Farah is passionate about working with our hands and nature as a pathway to awaken intuition and reconnect with our innate creative energy. Instinctively intrigued by the process of nature immersion and slow crafting as acts of deep remembering and conscious observation, she explores wild clay, plants and the natural elements as tools of connection to Earth, our Fitrah and The Creator.
