No one could have written what 2020 has been. As we have passed the halfway point of 2020, this Soul Session is a moment for you to reflect on your year so far and look forward. Maybe you’ve been tempted to write off your 2020, this session is about reclaiming our year through the power of community. We’re not writing off 2020, we’re taking a moment to take stock and move forward intentionally.

In the session, we will be exploring what was brought out for you during the lockdown, what needs to change in your life for you to thrive, and what intentions you want to set for the rest of your year. Join us to experience the unique healing, strength, and energy that comes from bringing the Amaliah sisterhood together.

Soul Sessions have been a space for the Amaliah community to come together and find space to talk about a particular issue. In the past, we have held soul sessions in response to feeling a sense of collective grief or mourning. We have run soul sessions in response to New Zealand Attacks, The General Election, and more recently in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.

These have been led by you, the Amaliah community, as a space for you to speak about how you feel, relate to others, and also hear different perspectives. The aim has been to feel seen and to be in a space that centres you as a Muslim woman.

Today we are launching a pilot of new Soul Sessions. The first one is facilitated by Aliyah Hasinah with the theme of reset and reflect.

Each session is 2 hours long, the nature of soul sessions is it is participant-led where you are free to share on your own terms, you do not have to share if you do not want to and are free to just listen. We do however require video participation, this is in order to build trust as the nature of soul sessions is that some may share confidential information.
