Join us for an opportunity to renew, introspect and reflect on our connection to Allah, and ourselves, in nature.
This walk will take place outdoors, our gathering will include time for us to be together in remembrance as well as individual time to be alone.

Testimonials
The best aspect of ISIP, which I have seen, is the genuine, kind,
and unconditional support of each member. In fact, there is no shortage of support at any time. This has been an incredibly enriching experience!
Ihsan-USA
Masha'Allah ISIP is a fantastic resource and a must see for anyone interested in Islamic Psychology. The topics, the sessions with renowned scholars and resources shared are very relevant and several times introduced me to the depth of Islamic Psychology work that is taking place worldwide. It helps break away from the perception that Islamic Psychology is simply an emerging field. To add, it is a community like no other!
Omar-Canada
I love how the events are conducted in a very peaceful manner, they are actually very resourceful. The Q and As are great! The Whatsapp groups are regulated very respectfully which is quite a task when we have such a daunting number of people in it. Overall the ambience that the sessions and discussions have is beautiful to witness and makes me hopeful of a great future and scope that IP has worldwide.
