Sacred Roots Student Collective: Chai Chat - Spirituality as an Act of Defiance

The Sacred Roots Student Collective invites the community to a Chai Chat on February 27th at 6 PM starting with Dua Kumayl!

In a world that often pressures us to conform and disconnect from our roots, choosing to embrace spirituality can be a powerful act of resistance. As we look to our history and value-based movements we see how faith can be a powerful tool and driver for community building and a catalyst for change. Together, we’ll reflect on how reconnecting with our spiritual selves can inspire change, challenge the status quo, and honor a legacy of speaking truth to power. Come share your thoughts, sip some chai, and engage in a meaningful conversation about faith, identity, and activism.

Please use the RSVP Form below to let us know you're coming!

Topic this week:

Economic Resistance

What does our soul have to do with the dollar bill? We will reflect on what our pre-conceived notions about wealth are and then explore what Islamic priorities we have been given, before then brainstorming how we can practically carry out Islamic economic priorities as producers and consumers.
