Title: Why Am I Here?

About the Retreat:

What’s the point of all this? What’s the purpose in life? Why am I here?

In this Seeds of Wisdom retreat, we’ll spend the weekend delving deep into these profound questions, offering a unique perspective on life’s struggles. Through reflection and guided discussions, you’ll discover how the tests and obstacles you face — both within yourself and in your relationships — can illuminate your path and clarify your purpose.

Explore what it truly takes to uncover your purpose and answer the age-old question, “Why am I here?” Through the clear, direct, and eloquent lens of the Quran, this retreat will provide practical guidance on what your focus in life should be.

We’ll center our discussions on the powerful lessons of Surah Al-Fajr through Surah Al-Layl, examining their wisdom to find deeper meaning and direction in our lives.

This retreat is part of a transformative 9-part series designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the 30th Juz’ (section) of the Holy Quran, empowering participants to connect with the timeless teachings of the Quran in a personal and impactful way.

Join us for a weekend of reflection, growth, and connection as we journey together to answer life’s most important questions.

Backed by 20+ years of teaching experience, Dr. Nadia Katrangi, Good Tree Chairman and head instructor, leads the group in an engaging, interactive style group discussion. Referencing the Quran from a linguistic, scholarly, and historical perspective, each retreat has an overarching objective to highlight the relevance of the Quran in the context of current times.
