Step into a transformative journey where traditional wisdom meets modern insight. This immersive one-day workshop dives deep into the diseases of the heart, uncovering how our inner vices are intricately tied to our natural dispositions. Drawing on classical models of Tazkiyat al-Nafs (spiritual purification), prophetic teachings, and the timeless principles of traditional medicine, we’ll explore the emotional and spiritual roots of pride, envy, anger, and more through the lens of your temperament.
Blending insights from scholars like Imam al-Ghazali, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Ibn Sina with contemporary challenges of the soul, this workshop doesn’t just diagnose—it heals. Participants will be guided through reflective exercises, temperament-based frameworks, and personalised strategies to begin clearing the path toward inner balance, resilience, and connection with the Divine.
Whether battling subtle spiritual stagnation or longing for a deeper self-awareness, this workshop offers a compass for the heart, rooted in tradition, tailored to your nature, and relevant to today.
