Program and cost

Join the Mozaic team and experience the program theme of Beauty and Majesty (Jamal and Jalal) of Allah. Through the landscape of Morocco we will explore the ancient cities where both beauty and majesty are on display through the landscape and people. Our exploration of tradition is centered around these profound concepts, representing the feminine and masculine principles of the Divine. As we travel together through historic lands, Sh. Umair will provide his commentary along with exclusive access to scholars and spaces that were most influential during his decade long study in Morocco. Through our program theme and Sh Umair’s lens, we aim to deepen our understanding of these divine attributes and their presence within us.
