Discussing Faith, Desire, and Healing
Join us for Sacred Desires, a Halaqa designed to open hearts, deepen understanding, and create space for healing. Grounded in Islamic teachings, this workshop invites participants to explore sexuality as a sacred trust rather than a source of silence or shame.
PLEASE NOTE: This halaqa will cover mature and sensitive topics. Parental discretion is advised.
At the heart of Sacred Desires is the belief that our sexual selves are not in opposition to our spiritual selves. This workshop will guide participants through the process of understanding desire as a divine part of the human experience—meant to be acknowledged, honored, and directed with care. We’ll explore:
How Islam frames sexuality and desire with purpose and dignity
The difference between healthy modesty (haya) and destructive shame
Ways to navigate internal struggles with compassion, education, and hope
