LAKE MUSKOKA WRITERS’ RETREAT

In collaboration with the Muslim Literary Festival

This September, Deen Journeys and the Muslim Literary Festival invite you to a soul-nourishing retreat. Set against the serene backdrop of Lake Muskoka, this retreat is your opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and create. Whether you’re an experienced writer or simply someone who feels called to put pen to paper, this space is for you.

Designed exclusively for Muslim women writers, this retreat offers a safe, inspiring, and uplifting environment to explore your creativity, strengthen your voice, and connect with like-minded sisters. Through thoughtfully curated writing workshops led by the Muslim Literary Festival team, you’ll develop your craft while nurturing your heart and soul.

Beyond writing, this experience is about rest, reflection, and meaningful connection — the kind that lingers long after the retreat ends.
