This year, I am proud to offer Windows to Islam in coordination with St. Stephen’s College (on the University of Alberta campus).
Nov. 10th & 17th
10:00 am – 3:00pm
Windows to Islam provides an overview of Islam’s rich historical and religious tradition with an emphasis upon how history, contemporary issues, and the Islamic religious sciences (‘ulum al-din) contribute to the religious identity and practice of Muslims today.
This course is ideally aimed at providing counselors, chaplains, clergy, educators, and community members with the essential aspects of Islam and Muslims that will better enable them to engage with and serve Muslims in our increasingly multi-faith and multi-cultural context.
People of all faith, or no faith, are encouraged to attend.
Attendees may apply for 10 CEU credits for this workshop with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
Following this class, I will be offering another workshop called Counselling Muslims together with Ubah Mohammoud (MPS) in February 2019. Attendees who apply for both will save $50 off their total tuition.
