What does it mean to live in tranquillity? How does one achieve a balanced and peaceful life? These were some of the guiding questions when thinking about the programs and their relationship in Sakinah. Programmatic areas are derived from the definition of tranquillity as the sum of an active, thoughtful, generous and meditative life, in harmony with the natural world.
LIVING IN TRANQUILITY = (EDUCATION + RECREATION + MEDITATION + SERVICE) X access to the NATURAL WORLD
