SABR (n. Arabic) patience; admirable conduct.
Support and belief are vital in recovery. When the mind suffers, decisions and judgment suffer. Self-belief suffers. SABR is a powerful learning system that repairs the damage and promotes growth above and beyond the original problem. It tunes into something very new, but very true: difficulties and thankfulness are powerful growth tools.
Stress, addiction, burnout, trauma, and unwanted habits, and all mental health issues reach a phase where you are determined to find a better way forward. That's where the SABR course comes in.
SABR is a step-by-step recovery and strength program. Do it over 12 weeks at home, or over 30 days at our intensive 30-day residential course in our beautiful coastal location. 12 blocks, all step by step. It restores mental wellbeing and builds a sense of self-belief and inner strength. It can be done at our residential location or at home. The lessons are always accessible and reinforced through online videos, exercises, and 1:1 support sessions with trained recovery coaches.
Zakaatable clients also welcome- we run a free program twice a year.
Sabr at Home
Recovery and growth at home, at your own pace
SABR is focused on building positive behaviours and strengths.
For people recovering from unwanted habits, stress or other issues, SABR offers a quick and inexpensive way to learn and discover all the things that you would gain from expensive, prolonged 1:1 therapy, and probably even more. Learn where emotions come from, how to manage them, how to improve your relationships, find meaning and purpose, and find contentment and joy again.
All you need is a smartphone or other device to access the learning materials.
You can do the course completely on your own, or you can do it with the support of a recovery coach or doctor.
There is no pressure to succeed or finish: the only thing you need to is put in modest, humble effort. Start when you feel ready, not when other people demand you do.
With every difficulty, there is ease
SABR can be deeply transformative.
Its techniques and lessons help heal and rebuild strong, confident character.
Clients should be:
- Able to concentrate for up to 40 minutes
- Motivated and interested to learn how to live better
- Stabilised: free from extreme mental states of addiction or illness
- Respectful, able to look after their own safety, and respect others.
Environment
Activities
For home-based clients, SABR recommends that you have a safe and quiet space to do the work on your own. Some cities have a wellbeing hub available for clients to use, where you can relax, meet recovery coaches, have group meetings and so on.
For residential clients we use a luxury home property on the stunning Indian ocean coast. Clients have full and free access to all facilities one would expect in an independent home. Maximum of 4 clients, all with their own bedroom. Full daily timetable of activities, 1:1 sessions, online sessions, outdoor exercises and so on.
Expertise
A team of experienced recovery coaches who specialise in helping you gain understanding, building your own story and self belief up again. The RC's also help you with the difficult things that arise, like comunicating with family, or making plans for your future steps after finishing the course.

The 47 modules of SABR are straightforward, effective recovery activities. Videos, exercises, reflection assignments, and demonstrations are all part of the program.
For residential clients there are additional activities as a group, designed to reinforce the lessons from SABR, provide space for recreation and appreciation of the stunning local scenery, and to help build camaraderie and social skills too.
Our intention and pledge:
Give SABR your attention, and may you get your life back in return.
That is our sincere hope, with the Creator's will.
