What are Seeds of Wisdom Retreats?

Seeds of Wisdom is an 8-part series of weekend retreats designed to convey a comprehensive understanding of the 30th Juzu’ (Section) of the Holy Quran. Each of these 8 sections contain sequential clusters of Surahs (Quranic Chapters), which embody a thematic principle. A participant will come away with an understanding of basic foundational teachings of the Quran with the ability to critically reflect upon profound questions such as what is the purpose of creation, how do we view ourselves, and what is our role in society.

Led by instructors in an engaging, interactive style, participants will connect to the Quran from a linguistic, scholarly, and historical perspective with an overarching objective to highlight the relevance of the Quran in the context of current times.

​Participants further process the impact of the message in their own life and awaken the truth within. Seeds of Wisdom retreats deliver a complete road map for life. These classes leave participants spiritually recharged and longing to reconnect to God. They come away with a new-found ability to relate to the Quran in a deeply personal way.

Title: ​Who Are We? - A Quranic Perspective on Social Justice. 
Location: Online via Zoom
Description: In the current socio-political environment we are witness to and in some cases the victim of overt and covert instances of social injustices that plague our society. The root of social injustice lies in gender bias, social bias and blatant acts of discrimination that have existed since time immemorial. We find ourselves asking how to handle ourselves in the face of such social adversity and more importantly how do we heal as a unified community. The Quran addresses the subject of social injustice in a manner that soothes the soul, helps to realign our perspective regarding inequality as well as provides action items that we can take on. Join us at the next Seeds of Wisdom retreat as we study a set of suras from part 30 of the Holy Quran and delve into the discovery of Who We Are.

Speakers: 
The planning of SOW is a 3 month weekly endeavor by a diverse team, and lead by our scholar Dr. Nadia Katrangi (bio link).  During the retreat, Dr. Nadia Katrangi will be leading the lessons and Diego Salcedo will be the co-lead and moderator.  The rest of the team is present to support our scholar and aid in the understanding of the discussions.
