Body, heart
and faith.

Nur, the light. Nafs, the soul. Mélissa created Nur & Nafs from a personal need: to slow down, find herself again and reconnect with faith, surrounded by women who share the same values.

These retreats are for Muslim women. Yoga and Pilates sit alongside prayer, spiritual reminders, introspection and meaningful conversations.

Moments that
come together.

The programme varies by edition. These are the practices and shared moments presented by Mélissa.
