The Mindfulness Masterclass with Wadud Hassan
The next Mindfulness Masterclass cohort starts on Tuesday, 1st Rabi ul Awal, 1444h (27 September 2022) at 6:00 pm Central Time (see in your local time here.)
Leverage Emotional Well-Being for Peak Performance & Productivity
We live in an increasingly negative and distracted world. We are not able to focus, and we get triggered by negative feedback easily.
Many of our responses are reactionary and not based on conscious thinking and this impacts our productivity, performance, and well-being.
As Muslims, we know that consciousness, awareness, and mindfulness of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (i.e. Taqwa) is at the heart of our faith. Yet, many of us lack the practical skills to practice Taqwa in order to regulate our emotions and redirect negative thinking towards calmness and contentment, especially in our VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world.
The Mindfulness Masterclass will help you develop the practical knowledge and skills to regulate your emotions and feel empowered, present, and have more peace of mind across all areas of your life.
