Reclaiming Dua: Dua Workshop
Join Chaplain Seher for an interactive workshop on making dua. In this workshop, participants will discuss the importance of dua and will workshop their duas with each other and Chaplain Seher.
Ramadan is quickly approaching, and HEART is here to support you with your spiritual needs in a trauma-informed space. For the third year, we are running our “Renew Your Niyyah*” series with our amazing HEART chaplain, Seher Siddiqee. In this series, Chaplain Seher will walk you through setting your intentions, or niyyah, for Ramadan and give participants tangible tools to deepen their spiritual growth. Centered around dua, or prayer, this series is an opportunity to craft your individual and our collective duas for Ramadan. This is an opportunity to explore your faith in a non-judgmental space with other Muslims. You can register for one or multiple sessions of our three part series.
*niyyah means intention in Arabic
