Healing Our Hearts

Wednesday, September 23, 2020 | 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time

This is the fifth event in this series which will explore "Healing" from different faith perspectives. When we feel broken, how do we pick up the pieces and find healing? How do we build a healthy, compassionate, loving sense of self?

IslamiCity and The Guibord Center - Religion Inside Out, invite you to join us for a time of storytelling and guided conversation about "Healing".

 We’ll hear moving stories from people about how their beliefs and practices have helped them explore fear and use it for healthy purposes. You’ll have a chance to share your own thoughts in a small group, and to discuss how we can apply spiritual wisdom in our lives.

IslamiCity is partnering with The Guibord Center an interfaith organization dedicated to opening hearts and minds. We are bringing together people with rich spiritual backgrounds and diverse perspectives for this event, the second in a series. We hope this virtual collaboration will serve as a model of spiritual and interreligious engagement and mutual enrichment that unites our communities in faith and hope for a better world.

Our storytellers for this event will be:
