Compassion Action Foundation had a great weekend in central New Jersey ! The highlight of the three-day mind body and spirit diversity empowerment retreat was amazing to witness. Bonding occurring right before our eyes. Women traveled from North Jersey with plans to leave the retreat early. Their plans changed and they not only stayed late but they came back the next two days. This was the experience for all the ladies. One lady traveled from as far as Connecticut. Those that traveled from far away or those that lived 5 minutes away, desired to stay and get every bit of each workshop and anticipated the next day.

The shared cultural stories enable the attendees to gain historical knowledge, that broadened there perspective. The different cultural meals allow for some to experience different tastes and dishes for the first time. All in all it was a great success. We thank our sponsors, Central Jersey Community Center and the Muslim Journal for helping to make this Women’s Retreat a success. We invite you to keep in touch and see what we doing in the future around Building Bridges.
