Objective
The retreat intends to raise our awareness and sensitivity to aspects of our modern living which are at odds with the Prophetic way. In an age where we further distance ourselves from living meaningful and sustainable existences, it is imperative we search for brief opportunities to re-engage nature and those arts that historically have always been part of the Prophetic way of living.

The retreat will be held at Willowbrook, a family-run farm located in Oxford, who are committed to the environmental sustainability of the land and organic farming.

The day’s activities will include:

-          Outdoor Archery course – safety & handling, basic technique, drills, games & more – 
by Jehad Shamis (Archery for All)
-          Willowbrook Farm tour & demonstrations.
-          Demonstration of Cob Building & discussions on sustainable building.
-          A delicious gourmet BBQ Lunch from quality produce served with fresh salad.  
-          Grappling course – learn wrestling techniques both stand up (Olympic-style) & on the ground (Brazilian Jiu-jitsu) - by Nisar Shaikh (Carlson Gracie Team London) - **BROTHERS ONLY**.
-          A enlightening talk discussing  the undertaking and living of  a truly Prophetic way –
by Shaykh Thaqib Mahmood (OTKF, CEI, Ha-Meem Foundation)
-          Outdoor Camping – set up camp, work as a team, enjoy a summer night under the stars with a full English breakfast served.
