Awakening Ihsan 3.0: The Anchored Soul is SimplyIslam’s flagship two-day spiritual retreat, taking place on 7 and 8 November 2026 at SimplyIslam, 152 Still Road. It brings together an exceptional lineup of local and international scholars for a full immersive programme anchored in the Sirah of the Prophet ﷺ.
The Illumination Tour is a series of talks, lectures, and a workshop led by Dr. Tarek Elgawhary across various venues in Singapore from 6 to 9 November 2026. It runs alongside the Awakening Ihsan retreat and is open to the public.
They are two distinct programmes running across the same week, but they are designed to complement each other. The Awakening Ihsan retreat is the main two-day event, while the Illumination Tour features additional sessions surrounding it. You can attend one or both.
No. You are welcome to register for either programme independently. However, we highly recommend attending both for the full experience which is why we’ve put together the Full Retreat Pass at a combined price.
There are three passes to choose from:
The Awakening Pass ($99 / $70 for students) — includes the Awakening Ihsan Spiritual Retreat, plus the two free public talks by Dr. Tarek Elgawhary.
The Illumination Pass ($49 / $30 for students) — includes the Ibn Ata’illah’s Al-Hikam workshop, plus the two free public talks by Dr. Tarek Elgawhary.
The Full Retreat Pass ($130 / $90 for students) — includes everything: the Awakening Ihsan Retreat, the Al-Hikam workshop, and both public talks.
The Full Retreat Pass. At $130 for adults and $90 for students, you save significantly compared to purchasing the retreat and workshop separately and you get access to a full four days of programming.
Yes. Students receive discounted pricing across all three passes. Simply fill out the school/college/institution name upon registration.

The Awakening Ihsan retreat runs from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on both Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November.
The workshop — Foundations of Islamic Spirituality: Ibn Ata’illah’s Hikam — is a full-day deep dive into one of the most beloved texts in the Islamic spiritual tradition, led by Dr. Tarek Elgawhary. It takes place on Monday 9 November at SimplyIslam, 152 Still Road.
