Silence creates space for us to decompress, reflect on our inner selves, and ponder the wonders of God. As the great-grandson of the Prophet (s), Imam Ali b. Musa al-Rida (‘a), taught:
“Of the signs of having profound insight are forbearance (al-ḥilm), knowledge (al-ʿilm), and silence (al-ṣamt). Silence is one of the doors of wisdom. Silence earns love and it is the guide to all good.”

The bustling of daily life and our habitual desire to tether ourselves to the internet often leaves us feeling drained and burnt out. Join us for a monthly evening of intentional silence.
Feel free to bring your prayer beads, Qur’ans, journals, books, quiet art projects, or nothing at all.
Take the time to center yourself and to contemplate upon your journey and ultimate ambition.
Light snacks and tea will be served
