 How do we foster genuine connectedness? How do we authentically relate to those around us, to our families, to ourselves and to God? How can we be mindful of our interactions and honour the potential for growth in each moment? 
This two-day programme facilitated by Abdallah Rothman aims for participants to become better equipped to develop self-awareness in their relating to others, to themselves and to God. The weekend will have a strong focus on the notion of heartfulness, an Islamically based approach to mindfulness, which underpins the process of becoming more present and effective in our relationships, both horizontal and vertical.
