Transform Your Stories to Embrace Truth & Freedom

Transform Your Stories to Embrace Truth & Freedom
A New Series offered by the Jami' Initiative of the Shadhiliyya Sufi Communities

Have you noticed that in the absence of information or understanding about a situation we tell ourselves stories to fill in the gaps? After these stories have been considered again and again, they start to live inside of us as the Truth.

As you can imagine, our stories can have a profound influence on our interactions and relationships with others. In
this series of 8 classes we explore ways to soften the impact of these stories, and to help the body and heart release them.

Class #1 (April 30th): What Do We Mean by “Story”
The stories we tell ourselves about what happened to us, and the meanings we assign to these stories, often shape what we experience in our daily lives. During this class we begin to explore our stories, our traumas, and the ways they impact us. Then, through Allah we begin to look beyond them in order to shift the power they have over us.

In this first class we introduce the theme of this series, provide a brief overview of the ground we plan to cover, and discuss why it’s essential to move beyond our stories for our walking and for the quality of our lives and relationships.
