Description
The Truth, or Al Haq, is one of the 99 Names of God in Islam. We live in a world in which truth is obscured by those who wish to sow confusion or discord. We are easily distracted from seeing and hearing the truth and following its guidance.
Truth is not a singular or simplistic concept but rather is reflected in our diversity as microcosms of the macrocosm. How do we protect the values, people, and experiences that represent the truth of our existence and give great meaning to our lives? How do we remember and not forget?
During this retreat day, we will explore the concept of truth and remembrance using a variety of Islamic texts and concepts. Through discussion and writing, we will explore guided questions that help us identify the truths we hold most sacred in our lives.
We will make a series of vessels to hold our truths, mementos that provide ongoing visual reminders of our time together and the truths we wish never to forget.
