Unlike most retreats, seminars and conferences that focus on the sharing and teaching of information, the BorderPoint Awakenings Retreat is created with the goal of catalyzing transformation through deep immersion.
This experiential approach is the fastest and most effective means of effecting change in a short period of time. Join us, and with the grace of God, experience an awakening of the heart.
Awaken the light and power of faith in the heart while you enjoy a premium retreat experience at a 5-star resort on the Mediterranean with a blessed gathering of individuals from all over the world. Discover spiritual connection and communion in congregation, and experience an immersive process designed to catalyze transformation to give you the strength, clarity and guidance necessary to both survive and thrive in the modern world.
The Messenger of God ﷺ continually advised his companions and they who followed to perpetually seek knowledge, and taught that by doing so, believers could become better servants of the Almighty.
With the overwhelming amount of knowledge and information that is now available and that we are confronted with on a daily basis, it can be difficult to discern what is helpful, beneficial and in alignment with the principles of faith, and what is not.
In Awakenings Academy, you will have the opportunity to participate in weekly study circle sessions in which we cover relevant topics related to personal growth and spiritual development with the intention of clarifying and qualifying contemporary information with classical knowledge and wisdom so that we may progress upon the path to the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty.
At the Awakening the Heart Retreat, you will have the opportunity to experience deep and connected spiritual practice and worship that nourishes your soul and provides sustenance to your spirit. Together, we will participate in classical and traditional prayers, dhikr, meditation, learning and teaching, and more.
One of the keys to effective and connected worship is the alignment of the heart towards the Divine Presence, and this is one of the main goals of the Awakenings Retreat. By learning how to align yourself inwardly towards the light, love, peace and presence of God, you will be able to draw from the Infinite wellspring of divine strength and support at any time, and discover the reality of what it means to seek refuge in Allah.
