Rooted in Healing
Rooted in Healing is a space for education and facilitated healing, guiding Muslims through the process of transforming intergenerational trauma and learning the skills to build a village of nourishing relationships.
Rooted in Healing is a trauma-informed initiative created to support Muslims in understanding and transforming intergenerational trauma by offering two interconnected pathways: Educational Modules + Process Groups.
If your days feel like this:
You’re carrying emotional weight that didn’t start with you
You’re surrounded by people, but feel unseen
You find yourself repeating patterns in relationships that leave you feeling alone
You know healing is possible and want to break the cycles, but the “how” feels unclear
You wonder if it’s even possible to feel deeply connected and whole
You’ve reached for support but felt misunderstood or dismissed
And you long for something different:
To understand the roots of your pain, including the ones passed down
To feel mirrored, heard, and held in community
To shift out of survival mode and into grounded presence
To build relationships that feel safe, mutual, and life-giving
To speak to yourself with compassion, not criticism
To grieve what was lost and make room for what can be
To heal forward for yourself and future generations
