Welcome to The Retreat

Rooted in the honored legacy of the Mutawefeen from Makkah, the caretakers of pilgrims, The Retreat offers women immersive journeys of spiritual reflection, cultural insight, and sacred sisterhood.

Discover Our Retreats

In a world that rarely slows, The Retreat offers women a sacred pause — a space to step inward, deepen their faith, and nurture meaningful connections. Guided by generations of Mutawefeen (caretakers of pilgrims) from Makkah, we combine cultural insight, logistical expertise, and prophetic-inspired teachings to craft journeys that balance heart, mind, and soul.

Each retreat is carefully curated for intimate groups, providing access to knowledgeable female teachers, immersive experiences, and opportunities for reflection and growth. Women from around the world build sisterhood, strengthen their spiritual practice, and return home renewed, empowered, and deeply connected — to themselves, their faith, and a global community of women.

What people are saying

“To retreat is not to step back, but to step inward — into faith, into presence, into who we truly are.”
