About Nafisa
Meet Nafisa, the founder of NatureWithNafisa—a visionary leader dedicated to creating transformative wellness retreats where Muslim women reconnect with faith, nature, and sisterhood.
Nafisa Founder of NatureWithNafisa
Nafisa is the heart behind NatureWithNafisa, an outdoors educator and explorer creating spaces where Muslim women can reconnect with faith through nature.
As a hiker breaking barriers in the outdoor sector, her work is rooted in making nature more accessible, inclusive, and meaningful for women who may have never seen themselves reflected in these spaces before.
With a background in global climate advocacy and human rights, Nafisa brings a deeper purpose to her work, one that connects personal healing with environmental responsibility.
Through every experience, she weaves intention, mindfulness, and ecological awareness into spiritual practice, creating journeys that feel both grounding and transformative.
"I design every retreat like a quiet pause, guided breaths, intentional practice, and space for women to reconnect with creation and find their way back to Allah."
What Drives Nafisa's Vision
Every aspect of NatureWithNafisa is built on foundational principles that honor faith, nature, and authentic connection.
Faith-Centered
Every retreat is rooted in Islamic principles, creating spaces where spirituality and nature intertwine.
Nature Connection
Deep reverence for the natural world as a pathway to understanding Allah's creation.
Sisterhood
Creating safe, welcoming spaces where Muslim women can connect, grow, and feel supported, without judgement, and with shared understanding.
The Story of NatureWithNafisa
What began as a personal journey has grown into a global community rooted in faith, nature, and collective care.
The Beginning
A Vision Born
Nafisa's journey began with a simple but powerful realisation, Muslim women needed safe, intentional spaces in nature to reconnect with their faith,themselves, and their wellbeing.
The Growth
Building Community
What started as small gatherings quickly grew into a thriving community.
Through monthly walks and shared experiences, over 600+ Muslim women have cometogether to reconnect, reflect, and support one another.
From this community, a deeper purpose emerged, a collective effort to give back to the land through regreening initiatives, transforming connection into action.
Today
Continuing the Mission
Today, NatureWithNafisa has grown beyond London and offers retreats and experiences across the world.
Alongside working directly with Muslim women, Nafisa now collaborates with organisations to deliver nature-based workshops and retreats that support wellbeing, connection, and environmental awareness.
What remains unchanged is the intention behind every experience — to create spaces that feel grounding, meaningful, and transformative.
