What our leaders are saying

“بجد من أحسن الكورسات اللي أخدتها ❤️ مش بس عشان المعلومات والتنظيم، لكن عشان المتابعة معاكي في كل خطوة، والرد على كل سؤال. بتحسي إنك مش بتاخدي كورس وخلاص، لكن بتتعلمي وبتعيشي الرحلة معاه فعلًا 🤍✨”

Coach Inji

@recoverywithinji

“هو أنا قبل ما أخد الكورس فعلًا كنت بقول: هو أنا فعلًا محتاجة أخد كورس علشان أعمل Retreat؟ وحاولت، بس للأسف معرفتش. لحد ما أخدت الكورس مع مي، وفعلاً فيه تفاصيل كتييير أوي كنت استحالة أعرفها لوحدي. خلاني جاهزة أطلع Retreat وأنا واثقة إن كل حاجة هتكون مظبوطة. بجد شكرًا يا مي ❤️”

Dr. Fatma Gebely

“الريتريت كان حلم بالنسبة لي، وأنا بحب قبل ما أبدأ في أي حاجة أخد كورس وأتعلم وأبدأ صح. ومع مي بجد الدنيا مختلفة تمامًا. تفاصيل ثم التفاصيل ثم التفاصيل. بجد كل حاجة من القلب، وكفاية المتابعة والتشجيع أثناء ما نبدأ ولحد ما تطمني على كل حد فينا. بجد شكرًا ليكي من كل قلبي ❤️❤️”

Roots Retreats

“There's a big difference between someone who talks about retreats, and someone who actually lives their details. Coach May Amer showed us how a successful retreat is built on precise design and real understanding of people — not just a nice location and activities. Every sentence felt like it came from real experience, not a textbook. 🌿🤍”

“الريتريت من أهم الكورسات اللي ممكن ناخدها. الموضوع يبان بسيط من بره، لكن تفاصيله الدقيقة عشان تنجحي لازم تاخدي كورس. والنجاح الأكبر لشخصية زي مي؛ حقيقي شخصية ربنا حباها بعلم، ومن جمال قلبها بتنقل كل علمها لأي حد محتاجه بكل حب وإخلاص ❤️❤️❤️”
