The Békhudi Retreat Experience

Nestled on the scenic outskirts of Islamabad, the Békhudi Retreats offer a unique blend of spiritual, meditative, and restorative experiences in a luxurious farmhouse, infused with deep Sufi influences. Guided by Tehmina and a team of experts, these retreats are designed to help you disconnect from the stresses of life and reconnect with inner peace.

Prayer Pavilion

At the heart of the farmhouse is a stunning domed prayer pavilion, perched over a koi fish pond and connected by timber bridges. This sacred space, often used for Sufi Zikr by the resident family, offers a tranquil setting for spiritual reflection.

Private Courtyard and Dewan Pavilion

A secluded courtyard hosts a beautiful dewan pavilion, inspired by traditional Islamic architecture. Adjacent to the swimming pool, this space invites guests to unwind and connect with others in a peaceful environment.

Versatile Indoor Spaces

The farmhouse features a large, adaptable basement area, ideal for group yoga sessions, workshops, or seminar-style discussions. This flexible space accommodates all retreat activities comfortably.

This is neat - alumni from AKU-ISMC have set up an Urdu-English meditation platform to help people cope with the crisis of uncertainty and lockdown. We make a big deal about training future leaders in AKU-ISMC and sometimes that means people who have obvious positions of authority, like politicians, diplomats, scholars or entrepreneurs, but sometimes it means taking a lead in more personal capacities to try and make things better for others.

I'm truly impressed and humbled by Tehmina Mansoor and Zohaib Zuby. They are definitely demonstrating the kind of leadership that makes me proud to be part of AKU.
