Our morning begins with Fajr prayer and morning adhkar followed by breakfast to nourish body and soul. With hearts open, we’ll set out on a scenic hike to Lake Trasimeno — Italy’s fourth-largest lake, framed by rolling Umbrian hills and dotted with charming villages. Here, sisters can take in breathtaking views, stroll along hidden corners of the shoreline, or even ferry across to explore Polvese or Maggiore Island, rich in beauty and stillness. The lake offers a serene invitation to reflect on Allah’s creation, unwind in nature, and embrace moments of peace together.
After returning and sharing lunch together, we’ll gather for Shakirah Sabira’s second teaching session. This session will explore the feminine cycle as an inner compass, guiding us to reconnect with our fitrah and embrace womanhood as a path of balance and mercy. With Qur’anic reflection, wisdom from women of our tradition, and interactive practices, sisters will be invited to truly embody their learning. The session concludes with a tea-blending workshop, where we’ll create personalised womb tea blends — a grounding, feminine activity that ties knowledge into lived experience.
As night falls, we’ll enjoy a comforting dinner, followed by prayer, Qur’an recitation, and a bonfire reflection circle under the stars — a soulful space to share, connect, and release before the retreat draws to its close.
