Session 1: Exploring our stories. The purpose of each session with converts is to understand individual and group needs and expectations in convert care.
Session 2: Facilitating gentle self-enquiry and holding space. In place of simple teaching, we will be exploring the group’s own answers.
Session 3: Culture: does this enrich our spiritual lives or is it a barrier? How can we forge our own unique way?
Session 4: Women-specific resources: What resources do we have as women to grow and to ‘be’ Muslim? How shall we navigate processes of settling in to a new religion, in the context of family life and occupation?
At Al-Mujadilah, we are dedicated to ensuring our programs are accessible to all women. If you would like to apply for a fee waiver, please fill out this form.
