Dialogue on Community, Faith, and Accountability

IN CONVERSATION SERIES

Our In Conversation Series is a curated collection of live and recorded dialogue events that bring together survivors, scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders for meaningful exploration of key issues facing Muslim communities today.

Each session offers a space for:

  • Honest reflection on difficult topics, including spiritual abuse, accountability, trauma, and power

  • Shared learning through lived experience, academic insight, and theological exploration

  • Collaborative conversation aimed at building collective tools for healing, justice, and change

The In Conversation Series is an essential part of Sacred’s work to build connections across experience, disciplines, and geographies, and to create compassionate, spiritually-grounded community learning.

These conversations are recorded and made available online so that the dialogue continues beyond the live event.

  • Understanding and Addressing Abuse in Muslim Communities

    We present the second event in our In Conversation with series, featuring Shaykh Amer Jamil and joined by Dr Rahmanara Chowdhury. This session will delve into the manifestations of abuse and abusive practices within Muslim communities, with a particular focus on spiritual abuse.

  • Cultivating Healthy Muslim Spaces

    A conversation with Shaykh Amer Jamil discussing the Islamic perspective on what a ‘healthy Muslim space’ looks like. We talk about how we can work together as a community to ensure the spaces we meet to learn and socialise in are safe and healthy.
