After Trauma, Hope: How to Process Trauma Through The Pen | Sidi Yousuf Azhar

January 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

There is hope after trauma; use the pen to improve your mental and physical health.

Join a student of knowledge and prolific researcher as he talks about how he recuperated after leaving a high-control religious group and the death of his mother. Expressive writing broke the shackles of trauma. 

This is not a fiqh session. This workshop focuses on sharing an evidence-based technique to help process traumatic experiences, improving mental and physical health. Bring a notebook and pen to write with during the workshop.

Friday, January 24 | 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. | MCC Prayer Hall | Join us in person or watch virtually at mcceastbay.org/live
