What is palliative care? Isn’t that the same as hospice? And why would I ever need a chaplain?

December’s workshop we will be blessed by three incredible guests. Alimah Faduma Warsame is the director of Strive Sisterhood in Minneapolis and a faith-specific Chaplain at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. We will also be joined by Palliative Care specialist, and family physician, Dr. Tammy McGregor who has spent over 30 years helping families better understand the mystery of death and when to call on palliative care services. We will also be joined by Dr. Maliha Khan, and together we'll break down what these compassionate services are all about and how they can make a huge difference during the most difficult transitions into the akhira.

We’ve all wondered if our hormones might be imbalanced—who doesn’t feel tired, moody, or notice real changes in their metabolism? For women juggling careers, families, and personal goals, it’s easy to overlook how much our hormones and their intricate feedback loop could be impacting our day to day experiences and broader long term health.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and get reacquainted with the endocrine system.

Is shame a burden or a beacon? For many of us, the topic of shame conjures up traumatic pasts and negative feelings. Yet through an Islamic lens, shame serves as a powerful force for accountability, shaping our identity and guiding us toward moral excellence.

Learn how to harness positive shame to elevate your spiritual journey and break free from the destructive judgments of others.

Just start your prenatal vitamins and stop that birth control right? Even when we have perfectly regular menses, up to 50% of women with regular periods aren’t ovulating with each cycle. The life choices we make that can promote or hold back conception begin months before intimacy enters the picture. Research is showing that early health preparation matters just as much for men as it does for women for a successful fertility journey.

Join us this month as we unpack the latest research on male and female pre-conception health and how both spouses can optimize before the bump.

We cannot wait to run it back after last year’s incredible pool party!
