Inspired by the way of the Prophetic community, the Annual Village Day & Neighborhood Halaqa is an invitation to come together to remember Allah and reflect on Prophetic character.

Our goal is to provide a sanctuary where families can travel together in spiritual development, improving our relationship with Allah, His Messenger, and our faith. By stepping away from the daily grind and immersing ourselves in the beauty of the natural world, we seek to nourish both the body and the soul.
