I went for my first retreat with MTC in September at Selangor. It was my first trip alone and I don’t travel much. Yet, the MTC organisers (Sis Diyanah, Nusaibah and Aisyah) took care of me very well and the whole trip, to and fro, was smooth.
I was roomed with sisters of my demographic who were working professionals. We immediately clicked and bonded.
The whole trip was a blessing. We started the days with solat sunat, solat subuh jemaah, morning adzkar and shared reflections. Then for the rest of the day and night were halaqahs about the Seerah of the Prophet s.a.w. It inspired me to relearn the Seerah but take my time and try to understand the Seerah through empathy for the Prophet s.a.w. The venue is such a great place to slow down and enjoy nature, away from the fast paced living in Singapore.
Overall, MTC has made me change the way I see travelling as not just taking pictures in front of scenic landscapes but that travelling can be more intentional and meaningful.
