Sacred Circuitry: Foundations
Sacred Circuitry: Foundations (Online)
Before we can change our patterns, we need to understand what is actually happening within us.
Sacred Circuitry: Foundations is a psycho-spiritual workshop exploring the inner architecture of the self through Islamic psychology, psychology and neuroscience.
Together, we’ll explore the Four Inner Faculties — qalb, nafs, rūḥ and ʿaql - and how they interact to shape our thoughts, emotions, desires and behaviour. We’ll look at the ego’s disguises and protective patterns, why we can know something intellectually yet still struggle to change it, and the foundations of how repeated patterns become wired into the way we respond.
You’ll begin learning how to observe your inner world rather than simply react to it, giving you a foundation for deeper self-knowledge, muḥāsabah and intentional change.
We’ll explore:
The Four Inner Faculties: qalb, nafs, rūḥ & ʿaql
The ego’s disguises and protective patterns
Why we repeat patterns even when we know better
The neuroscience of patterns, habits and change
Self-observation, muḥāsabah and returning towards fitrah
Sacred Circuitry: Foundations is the prerequisite for the Sacred Circuitry 10-Week Programme.
If you have previously attended the original Sacred Circuitry workshop, you do not need to attend Foundations again.
