WELLNESS & ITS IMPORTANCE

It's time to revive a community-based spiritual model of wellness, and it's time to restore wellness to a place of centrality in our work as Muslim institutions. Wellness is an essential part of a good life, and it must be part of what we offer to Muslims and others in the work we do as people who guide to faith. It's time to offer the powerful healing traditions passed down to us through the noble Legacy of Prophet Muhammad (may the light of God continue to nourish his soul and our connection to him).

BRIDGE-BUILDING & CONNECTING FURTHER

Not only do we regularly host guests from all over the world including France and hold internationally-attended retreats and events, but our Teachers continuously address matters of global concern. The Rhoda is dedicated to responding to the questions and concerns that arise in our world today and hosting conversations and events that build bridges between Muslims and everyone else. Here are some examples:

Talks at universities: Rumi (uOttawa), Mental Well-being (Carleton), Feminism & Faith (Université de Montréal), "Who is Allah?" (McGill)
