Arrows of Light: Sisters Archery (7 Week Program)
Reviving a Prophetic Sunnah through Strength, Stillness, and Spiritual Practice
Sakinah Retreats, in collaboration with Maydaan Archery Academy, invites you to revive the prophetic sunnah of archery in a sacred, empowering space for Muslim women. Rooted in the classical Ottoman teaching tradition — where archery was a spiritual discipline, not just a skill, this 7 week program guides sisters on a journey of embodied worship, intention, and self-mastery.
Through a deep dive into the 7 Arkan (Pillars) of Archery, participants will explore both the physical and spiritual dimensions of this noble tradition. Each session integrates technical training with spiritual exercises and reflection, drawing a powerful link between the bow, the breath, and the prayer.
Whether you have experience shooting a bow or it’s the first time you are coming in contact with archery you will find something in this course that is of benefit + you'll connect with a group of like minded sisters over the course of 7 weeks!
