To what extent can religion and spirituality exist in a society that is organised in a secular way, without specific religious influence? This question is explored in the workshop ‘Beyond the Visible’ by YUMNA. As a collective inspired by a faith-centred vision, the non-visible is constant in our thinking and doing. It is about relating to God.

In this workshop, we introduce you to a YUMNA experience. You are invited into a space that encourages curiosity and open conversation. As a follow-up from our previous research, ‘A Spiritual Home for Us’, we now ask: what is needed for a healthy spiritual environment? While doing so, we challenge you to imagine spaces beyond the visible world as seen with the eye.

The session is in English and/or Dutch, depending on the participants.

About the facilitators

YUMNA is a platform-to-be, centring spirituality and togetherness for Muslim women. Rather than fighting stereotypes and celebrating representation, YUMNA believes it’s more valuable to direct energy towards coming together. YUMNA creates comfortable, grounding and playful moments to explore the manifold ways in which Muslim women exist. Acknowledging their differing lifestyles, they never lose sight of what unites people in an inherently faith-centred way of navigating our world(s): reliance on God.
