Reframing Mental distress as a potential catalyst for positive change

It’s been a long wait for this publication, but it will be worth it!

MUSLIMS EMERGING PROUD THROUGH MENTAL DISTRESS

Kindly hosted by Sacred Earth Activism, please join us for an interactive film screening and discussion of the first two of our short-film trilogy ‘A Call to Awakening’.

You need to register to receive the zoom link to enable access to the event:  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/…/call-to-awakening-crisis…

These films are about our individual and collective awakening and how we can use crisis to awaken and find our calling in order to make the world a better place.

The series of short films were inspired by and made during the COVID-19 pandemic, about our times and how to navigate a changing world.

They are created from the interviews of those who themselves have experienced transformation, and now work in fields from psychology to human rights and spiritual healing.

The first short film ‘THE AWAKENING’ is about how we can individually use this current crisis to awaken and transform.

The second short film ‘THE CALL’ is about how we can take that inner work and start to do the work outside, finding our purpose and working collectively together.

The evening will include an interactive discussion about these concepts with the opportunity for the audience to reflect, feedback and discuss ideas for the 3rd film, The Vision.

You need to register to receive the zoom link to enable access to the event:  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/…/call-to-awakening-crisis…

MUSLIMS EMERGING PROUD THROUGH MENTAL DISTRESS

“Muslims Emerging Proud through Mental Distress is both a fascinating and empowering collection of experiences.

As we know, trauma can befall anyone, and this incredible book offers hope and inspiration to those experiencing Trauma.

The lived experiences featured in this pocketbook are full of humanity, compassion and determination.

As a Muslim, I resonated with many of the narratives and challenges expressed in this book. I believe this book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding trauma from a Muslim perspective.

Although awareness surrounding mental health has increased over the years, we still have some way to go regarding the stigma surrounding it. This book will be instrumental in breaking down some of the stigma surrounding mental illnesses, especially within the Muslim community.

I deeply appreciate this book coming into existence and am in awe of the brave individuals that shared their stories”.  Zainab Rahman 

The book is packed full of inspiring stories, quotes and poetry, like this one from our team member Sophia…
