The Farewell Sermon of our Prophet (pbuh) holds a treasure of advice and profound guidance to all the people of the past, present and future! As we commemorate Eid ul Adha during the days of this blessed month, we aim to remember together the foundations laid down by our prophet (pbuh) in his last sermon and figure together the best ways to apply them in our lives.
“Communication works for those who work at it.” Our daily routines often consist of segments where we utilize language, expressions and gestures to relay feelings, receive information and inspire action. Sometimes, no matter how articulate the idea we put across is, it doesn’t seem to be interesting or understood by the recipient. Many times our words fall tone deaf and can cause confusions or miscommunicate our intentions. Why do we want some conversations to last forever, while others we desperately try to crawl out of. In light of how important it is to acquire the art of communication, we try to break down our conversations and discover together the ‘What’, ‘How’ and ‘Why’ of productive communication.
Half of all plastic in the world today was produced in the last 15 years, making it a global crisis. Do we think just knowing this information is enough? Can we as individuals make a difference? As we deliberate and rethink our roles in dealing with this environmental crisis and the importance of changing our mindsets in making this earth a better place, discussion and actions need to be taken on an individual as well as a corporate level.
Family is a vital component to a healthy and striving society. “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” The family unit plays an important role in the making of each individual and the building of healthy and confident characters. We attempt in this session to understand the concept of family, why it’s so important, the micro and macro implications of this institution and how this trickles into the fabric of our society.
The discussion on mental health has always been vital yet under-discussed. As important as physical health is to a functioning body, mental health is a key to a healthy mind. Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. Societal stigmas and general ignorance on the topic has caused major confusions in our understanding and acceptance. As we work towards a peaceful, just and prosperous future the mental well-being of the generations are of utmost importance.
As important as it is to have heavy discussions, it is equally necessary to have lighthearted and fun conversations for team building and stress relief. They say, “we are what we eat”. This means that food is more than just a mere source of energy. It defines our cultures, impacts our moods, expresses our emotions and adds to our traditions. Each culture uses a unique selection of ingredients and these combinations and fusions create endless possibilities distinguishing people from one another. This session aims to have people together and highlight the beauty of culture through food.
