We together with professional business women lead ….

Compassion Action Foundation, Central Jersey Cultural Center and Muslim Journal are pleased to share the news of another successful collaboration. We together with professional business women lead an amazing two day retreat. These retreats come under the umbrella of CAF Building Bridges effort.
The retreat opened with a meet and greet, Friday at the CJCC in Somerset NJ. The diversity lecture and community lunch was a great beginning. The two health
workshops so very empowering. The first workshop covered, inflammation and what foods benefits people effected with illness caused by inflammation. We gained tools and knowledge that can be personally implemented. The second health
workshop was about an amazing organization in Virginia that teach and
expose children to gardening. The master gardener’s deliverey was so infectious with excitement. As a result we were ready to
get our hands dirty and dig in the dirt. The process of growing our own food became real.
February is a month that many Americans participate in African American Cultural programs and Valintine family gatherings. We addressed these heart topics with a candle making and violin proformance, lead by a group of amazing University students. We laughed and cried as we viewed, a true historical movie about African American women in the USA Army. It was love and commitment to excellence that jumped of the screen. The universal spiritual message of love excellently presented in the workshop, Your
Relationship with Allah/God. This put it all
into perspective.
These retreats are intended to address the total women’s development, mind, body and spirit. The later part of the day, closing workshop about personal growth covered well being and steps to personal coaching. The presenter covered physical, social / community, financial and spiritual well- being.
We closed the retreat with African American and Turkish women young and old, enjoying a cultural meal and dance. The dishes representing both cultures and dances from both cultures were shared.
We invite you to join us at one of our upcoming retreats and next month Ramadan iftars colaborations. Keep in touch, we’d love to see you.
