Weekly spiritual reflections and discussion to prepare for the arrival of the month of Ramadan.

Dates & Time: Tuesdays from 6:00 - 7:30 pm, March 10th through April 21st [7 total meetings]

Location: ICCNC Prayer Room

Class Format: "Approaching the Month of Ramadan" is a 7-week halaqa meant to center our spiritual lives. Through reflection on various texts in the Islamic tradition and open discussion, we will think critically about our spiritual priorities prior to the month of fasting and Qur'an. No need to commit to the entire seven weeks, although each class will build on the previous weeks. All are welcome, and come as you are!
