TIC runs a personal empowerment program for the Muslims who are queer and the communities they come from, every quarter. This three month intensive program consists of 11 halaqaat (study circles) and 4 weekend workshops. The program is designed to unlearn limiting beliefs around Islam, gender and sexuality and to assist Muslims who are queer to reconcile their faith with their sexuality and to raise their self-esteem. This program also teaches the different faces of Islam and assists the participant to discover the face of Islam that is most consistent with the Quran and the Prophetic example. PEP is also an alternative social space and gives participants an opportunity to identify role models and develop meaningful friendships. This program accepts between 8 and 12 participants quarterly. These participants are acknowledge and given a certificate on completion at the Annual International Retreat (AIR) in April.

ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL RETREAT (AIR)
This program brings together queer Muslims, queer Muslim activists and progressive Muslim scholars from around the world. They spend five days in a spiritually charged environment while empowering others and being empowered by information that is uplifting and inspiring. The Retreat provides an alternative meeting place for queer Muslims; it’s a place where they feel that their faith can be practices in a non-judgmental environment. The retreat is a place for networking and a place where queer Muslims from around the world come together to share their challenges they face in their respective countries and how we can jointly support them and work out best practices and strategies to meet those challenges. TIC’s Retreats are always away from the hustle and bustle of daily life; a truly reflective time for queer Muslims.
