Here's What Happens...
- Your past starts haunting you and you feel ashamed to talk about it with anyone
- You start to feel exhausted and confused about where to begin
- You get lost listening to other people's advice that you lose the voice of God
I lived in the black and white world of perfectionism in pursuit of knowing Islam and set myself up for failure when I didn't give myself any compassion or mercy in the process. It didn't help that I felt so alone and didn't belong to a community. Now, I help women understand the power of breaking-free from fitting in so that they can be loved and belong in a community that emphasizes the compassion, mercy and love of Allah.
There is no compulsion in Islam. Islam means peace, and you can’t have peace if you’re forcing someone to be peaceful, right? You can’t do that. It’s welcoming people of all faiths to find their own peace–whatever that means to them. I just want people to feel like they belong, that they’re accepted, and that it’s okay to be where they are.

We had the opportunity to do workshops, prayers and spent time reciting that brought peace in my life and a feeling of freedom. Out of every workshop my favorite was the horses where I had the opportunity to see a tangible reflection of myself in these Divine creatures. I let go and learned to forgive the things that I could not control. I thank God first and Khadijah for providing a safe space to help me to discover areas in my heart that I have to work on healing. The one on one section with Khadijah allowed me to release and to open up. The sisters make me feel at home and I was able to learn from them. Learning something new has been non-stop after the retreat. I’m grateful for my continued strength, my growing relationship with God and acceptance as a creation of God. I found my joy again! Change starts from your heart. Allow yourself to participate and be part of this amazing retreat.
I have had the opportunity to be in a spiritual retreat before, but this time was a different concept and practice. When I first enrolled, I was saying to myself, 'what are you doing?' and days later, God answered my question. Having the opportunity to share a house with four wonderful women brought change and comfort to my heart. Being able to listen to their stories and journey brought a huge view in my life. It was a safe environment and a non-judgment zone. We helped each other through listening and understanding.

I am very grateful that I had the prompts for self-inquiry each day. The journal is beautiful with lots of space for jotting down important thoughts and feelings throughout the program. The course is well thought out and by the end you definitely feel like important revelations were made, ready to apply what was learned for the rest of the year. Khadijah is kind and present, eager to hep. out when needed. Thank you so much Khadijah!
As my first residential Retreat I had no idea what to expect! Five days later… An insightful and spiritual experience with like minded women who lived, prayed and shared their own stories in a calm and safe space together.
The group with four other seekers like me and the willingness to share our personal journeys added dimensions to the conversation and helped us all understand ourselves and others in a non-judgemental environment. Although our journeys might have been different, we all were headed to the same destination: oneness with Allah and strengthening our connection with our creator through worship, dhikr and fasts during the month of Ramadan. I am so grateful to Allah for bestowing me with this opportunity and have such a deeply spiritual experience filled with peace and growth. Thank you Khadijah and may Allah reward you for your sincere effort in organizing this lovely space for us and an epic and transformational experience with the horses as well.

I had constant motivation to increase my worship and iman. The Ramadan Detox helped me take full advantage of this blessed month. I go the opportunity to meet new amazing sisters from all over the world. I would like to thank Khadijah for her efforts and may Allah subhanu wa-ta-ala reward and bless her in this dunya and the hereafter. Ameen.

As a revert and the only Muslim in my family, Ramadan was much more difficult. It was hard to stay motivated and focused. I wanted to be surrounded by sisters with the same goal and mindset for Ramadan, and so I decided to join the Soul Detox Ramadan edition. Our weekly sessions not only gave me a sense of belonging, but also inspired me to keep going and to stay focused on what is important. To praise Allah swt, ask for forgiveness, and improve my deen. Moreover, I was able to meet and know sisters that have been going through the same difficulties as I am and we were able to share our thoughts and advice on them. It was important to me that I worked on myself and faith during Ramadan, and we were given that opportunity through our workbook and collaborations with other sisters. Most importantly, I did not feel alone during Ramadan. I felt a sense of belonging, comfort, and growth during the sessions we all shared. Thank you Khadijah for hosting a Ramadan edition, and thank you to every sister that participated and has become a part of my journey. Jazzak Allahu Khairan.

Khadijah Von Grat facilitates a safe container from which to explore all facets of our being at many different levels, all while taking care of our heart through a spiritually focused lens. This process helped explore our own strengths while delving into the nitty gritty, reaching in to our core and mining the depths of our own understanding of ourselves. The pace of the journey was boot camp style and you’ll leave with many tools to guide you on your life quest going forward.
