Beloved Friends, assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
Peace be upon you, and the Mercy and Blessings of God!
We are pleased to invite you to the 25th Where Land Meets Sea retreat in Steninge/Halmstad, 24–27 September, on the west coast of Sweden.
The overall theme is The Journey Together and Alone — an invitation to explore the necessity of spiritual companionship, as we balance walking the path alone before God. Held by the Company of Seekers, we are guided by the Silence of the Beloved.
We are honoured to welcome Dr. Muna Haeri Bilgrami (South Africa/Malaysia), Haji Mustafa David Sterling (USA/Malaysia), Imam Nusrah Cassiem (South Africa), and Shaykh Mohammad Muslim Eneborg (Sweden/UK) as our main speakers. Sister Therese Palm Amiri (Sweden) will facilitate circles for the women on Friday and Saturday afternoon, focusing on "Reconnecting with the Innate Intelligence from the Divine". Pavel Siddique will guide us in 'releasing physical movements' on both afternoons.
We begin the evening of Thursday 24 September and continue until noon on Sunday 27 September. Welcome to listen to inspiring talks, take part in communal prayers and meditative gatherings, and walk contemplatively by the sea. Each day begins with silent dhikr; evenings bring vocal Dhikr and the singing of Diwan.
As always, the retreat is open to all — brothers and sisters, young and old, new seekers and seasoned travellers, irrespective of any formal school or tariqa. All sincere seekers from any religion or tradition are most welcome. We seek to meet in a spirit of openness, compassion, courtesy and understanding.
The fee (not including accommodation) is 700 SEK / 63 € for adults and 250 SEK for children above four; younger children free. This includes all meals. A limited number of beds (300–600 SEK/night) are awarded first come, first served; guesthouses and apartments are also available nearby. If you cannot pay the full fee, please tell us when registering and we will find a way.
