The Retreat
Woohoo! They're doing a series called The Retreat which is an Islamic version of The Monastery - looks great - and, even more exciting - it's where me and Choti got married and loads of my friends are in it! And my mentor who brought me into the Muslim fold will be the guy who mentors all of the volunteers!
"Following hot on the heels of the success of The Monastery and The Convent, this new series made by the same team explores the faith, tradition and culture of classical Islam as it tracks the six volunteers on their soul?searching, thought?provoking and life?changing journey.
"Away from the pressures of modern life, they take part in daily prayer, reflection and study at the Spanish retreat of Alqueria de Rosales in Andalucia, which caters to many different branches of Islamic faith."
Check out the press release, www.bbc.co.uk and the video clip www.bbc.co.uk nbram=1& bbram=1& nbwm=1& bbwm=1
I'm so excited - not sure when it's on I think this monday?
**UPDATE** Just found the listing - it starts on Monday 26 February, 9 pm on BBC 2.

Foxglove: Yes, there is something to be said for having no preconceptions...
Also, the Muslim ones tended to be far more set in their ways regarding which rituals they would and would not partake in. For example, Ayesha, a traditionalist, would not join in with the Sufi dhikr.
