Cultivating the Heart
Faith and values take root from the inside out. We look at how a child's heart is oriented toward what is good and true.
A five-part program on raising children in the Islamic tradition; the work of the home, the work of the heart, and the work between spouses that shapes who our children become.
Character is not built overnight. Join us for the fourth session of our Foundations of Islamic Parenting series, the art of cultivating hearts and habits, as we explore how faith, values, and character are nurtured through the environments we create and the examples we embody. Parents, grandparents, young couples, and all community members are welcome. Babysitting services will also be available.
Faith and values take root from the inside out. We look at how a child's heart is oriented toward what is good and true.
Character is shaped in small, repeated moments. The daily practices that turn good values into a steady way of being.
Children absorb what surrounds them. The home we create and the example we embody teach long before our words do.
