Rihla to Ramadān Retreat (2026)

Center DC and Radiant Roots are thrilled to invite you to join us for our 7th annual journey - or 'Rihla' - to Ramadan program! Join our team, along with some very special community providers for a weekend of preparation, reflection and personal growth as we explore what it means to center our connection to Allah this Ramadan. You’ll have a chance to connect deeply with others, learn about yourself, and discover the rich advice our tradition has to offer regarding spiritual wellness, self-care, and personal development. 

Registration includes 2 nights + 6 meals (Friday night through Sunday afternoon) in a sleep-away-summer-camp-like setting in the woods of Knocksville, MD, just 1.5 hrs outside of D.C. (Rooms sleep 6 people in bunkbeds!). Weather permitting, we’ll enjoy a bonfire with s’mores outdoors, inshaAllah!  We’re excited to offer this retreat at-cost to participants - we do have a few scholarships available to help folks cover the registration fee. We will also help coordinate carpool to and from the location, inshaAllah!

This year's retreat is special - we're offering family accommodations - AND CHILDCARE, inshaAllah! - We're also able to keep the price low and opening up more spaces (in TWO lodges!) to bring along as many folks as we can on this journey.
