Our story

A retreat born of longing.

For the woman who is tired but trying. For the one who is rooted but ready to grow. For the heart that has been quietly whispering, "There must be more."

The vision

To plant. To tend. To trust.

We hold this retreat as an act of remembrance — that we were placed exactly where we are by a Wisdom that knows us better than we know ourselves. To bloom where Allah planted us is not to settle. It is to soften, to root, and to reach toward the Light.

Our theme

Rooted. Growing. Surrendered.

Three days, three movements. From rooting ourselves in tawhid, to growing in sincerity and identity, to laying down what we cannot carry — and trusting Him with what we cannot see.

Host organizations

A collective in service.

Rooted & Rising is made possible by a coalition of faith-rooted organizations — teachers, designers, and community builders united in support of this women's knowledge retreat.
