Decolonizing the Mind: Mental Health, Capitalism, & the Loss of Sacred Rhythm
Examining how colonialism and capitalism have shaped our perceptions of worth, rest, and identity — and reclaiming our fitrah and collective memory.
The fifth in a series of mental health workshops that invite us to break the silence surrounding mental health.
During the workshop, participants will:
Unpack how capitalism and colonialism shape our mental health narratives.
Reflect on internalized beliefs about productivity, worth, and rest.
Reconnect with the fitrah as a compass for healing and wholeness.
Reclaim sacred rhythms of living that honor our bodies, hearts, and communities.
More info:
We live in systems that praise productivity over presence, and profit over people. Generations of colonization have not only taken lands but also redefined how we see ourselves, our time, and our values.
This reflective and critical workshop invites us to examine how these forces shape our minds and relationships today: our sense of belonging, our restlessness, and our understanding of self-worth.
Through the lens of faith, psychology, and decolonial thought, we’ll explore what it means to return to our fitrah — our God-given balance — and rebuild a rhythm of life rooted in mercy, meaning, and community.

The Inheritance We Carry: Intergenerational Trauma & Healing
Reflecting on what we’ve inherited emotionally and spiritually, and how to transform what no longer serves us.
The fourth in a series of mental health workshops that invite us to break the silence surrounding mental health.
During the workshop, participants will:
Recognize emotional and relational patterns that run through generations.
Understand the science of epigenetics and its connection to trauma.
Reflect on silence as both survival and inheritance.
Reclaim our agency to transform what we carry into sources of mercy and growth.
More info:
Every family carries stories, some spoken, others buried in silence.
Our bodies, relationships, and beliefs often hold echoes of past pain, love, and resilience.
This reflective and trauma-informed workshop explores how intergenerational wounds are passed down through emotion, behavior, and even biology, and how faith and consciousness can become pathways to healing.
Grounded in the science of epigenetics and the wisdom of spiritual lineage, we’ll uncover how inherited patterns show up in our lives and how we can interrupt cycles of silence, shame, and self-blame with compassion and awareness.

Breaking the Silence Series | Paths to Collective Healing: Resilience, Resistance, & Renewal
A panel discussion with mental health professionals focused on collective healing amidst current events, drawing on Islam to serve as a guide for navigating trauma.
The theme of this session is about intergenerational cycles of trauma. Our panelists will be answering in the vein of the following:
Can you talk about how tawakkul (putting complete trust in Allah) can facilitate having a healthy outlook amidst all the atrocities we are witnessing daily?
Can you speak about how the repeating cycle of anti-Muslim sentiment may manifest somatically and emotionally? What are steps folks can take to process such emotions?
If you are interested in thinking about collective trauma while thinking about how the present and historical Islamophobic narratives are impacting the mental health of Muslims today, register for this panel discussion below!
