Walk With Her 2023

Walk With Her

Walk With Her: 7 Bridges is a 5-mile Charity Night Walk on Saturday, 13th January 2024 in London to support revert women who are going through difficulty.

“You truly understand the needs of reverts sisters. Thank you for being there. For the first time I felt like I truly belonged and could be myself and accepted as a Muslim revert.”

- Dorset Retreat, Danielle

“This retreat has awakened me spiritually in ways I did not expect. Through the workshops with sister Aliyah, she has such a profound way with words and changing one's perspective. I appreciate the sisterhood and bounds that was created during the retreat. I enjoy the laugh, and vulnerability we shared. Apart from the workshops, I enjoyed the pampering session and the unstoppable laughter during the pampering session.”

- Dorset Retreat, Farah

“The event was an answered dua for me. It provided a space where I got reminded of Allah (SWT) in a way that resonated with me. I also felt so understood even without having to over explain myself because everyone there has been through this exact journey; different specifics but similar situations. Alhamdulillah for Solace.”

- Dorset Retreat, Maria

“This Eid party for reverts wasn't just an event; it felt like coming home, a truly international family gathering. The activities were heartwarming, the food a delicious embrace, and the venue a haven of joy. Meeting new sisters from all corners of the world, all walking this same beautiful path, was so incredibly lovely. A deep sense of belonging, a shared understanding, filled the air. It was a beautiful reminder of our global faith, the strength of our sisterhood, and the profound joy of Eid. My heart is full.”

- Manchester Eid event, Precious

“Alhamdulillah, they have beaten my expectations. There were so many reverts I have never met and many with similar struggles. Without Solace coming together to put this event out I would not have met such a large, beautiful community!”

- Manchester Eid event, Preeti

“A beautiful and fulfilled day, my children are always happy to attend and leave even happier. It's nice to be spoiled for Eid and to give thanks to Allah (SWT) for our blessings!”

- London Eid Event, Sarah

"A very good event for revert sisters and children, well-organised, friendly, and with a great atmosphere."

- London Eid Event, Aisha

“Iftars can feel a bit lonely, I’m so grateful, first to Allah (SWT), and then to Solace, for organising this one Iftar near me. I loved the atmosphere and the sisterhood that Solace creates. The highlight of the event was the tarawih prayer that the sisters prayed together, it felt like dessert after the delicious food that was served. Alhamdulillah.”

- London Iftar Event, Lauren

“This event was honestly one of my favourite memories I’ve had since I became Muslim. I felt such a sense of community and felt so seen. May Allah (SWT) bless all the sisters that made this event happen!”

- London Iftar Event, Hibah

"I met a sister from Slovakia, dined with a sister from Kenya, and I, myself, am from Poland. We shared our experiences and connected over similar struggles, but most of all, we had the chance to pray Taraweeh led by a female Qur’an reciter. The whole event made me feel welcomed, safe, and not judged."

- London Iftar Event, Sofia

“Solace is changing lives by bringing revert sisters together, especially in Ramadan when it can feel lonely.”

Manchester Iftar Event, Aminah

“Really welcoming, a space where you can be yourself and be surrounded by like-minded sisters.”

- Manchester Iftar Event, Asma
