Welcome to the Rhoda Foundation: Sufi Garden for Spiritual and Community Growth!
Rhoda literally means Rose Garden; like a rose garden, we are a place you can come to grow, or just to admire the beauty.
The Rhoda Foundation is a centre for personal, spiritual, and community development.
WHAT IS 'ISLAMIC SPIRITUAL WELLNESS?’
Islam literally means to be in harmony with the Divine. This harmony is achieved through a process of development. Islamic Spiritual Learning is that process of personal, spiritual, and community development.
We learn in many ways including service to our fellow human beings, relating more authentically to one another, listening and sharing, engaging in the arts, and practicing meditation and prayer.
The Rhoda Foundation: Sufi Garden for Spiritual and Community Growth is here to revive the opportunity for people to access this holistic, all-round experience of learning-as-development. For anyone who attends even one event, our hope is that learning will feel like discovery of the sacred that lies all around us and within each of us.
A HEALTHY CULTURE FOR ALL
Just like different-coloured roses grow in a garden that has good soil, diverse human beings thrive in a healthy milieu that nurtures us.
We call this milieu culture - which literally means a medium that supports life. The Rhoda Institute is focused on forging a healthy culture in which community and individuals are nourished. Whether you are joining us for one event or to find a community to be part of, we hope you will benefit from the beauty of the milieu you experience at the Rhoda.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE:
Through seminars, classes, lectures, art exhibitions, and other events, we aim to forge an authentic culture that leads to healthy community bonds, inspires you towards personal development, and helps you discover the richness of Islamic heritage, including spirituality as an art.
COME DISCOVER US
YOU are welcome at the Rhoda Foundation, no matter your background or walk of life or religious persuasion. Let's come together to learn from one another. That's where the richness lies. Our events are designed to give you a beautiful and uplifting experience sweetened by a beautiful ambience.
