Sadaqatun Jariyah, Ongoing Charity

Ali and Nafisa talk about faith and art and healing and Sadaqatun Jariya, Ongoing Charity.

About the Guest:

In the world of art, I find my passion in Islamic art. It's a beautiful blend of calligraphy, calligrafitti, and tezhip art. These artistic forms allow me to express the rich cultural heritage in unique ways. But my journey doesn't stop there. I've embraced mindful drawing as a way to bring calmness to the mind. It's not just about creating art; it's about creating a peaceful space for the soul. As an art therapist, I've discovered the incredible power of art in healing. It goes beyond colors and strokes; it's a tool for connecting with emotions and finding inner balance. I guide others on this journey of self-discovery and healing through my artistic expertise. Teaching is another facet of my life. I am an educator who believes in sharing the beauty and significance of Islamic art. I want to inspire a deep appreciation for these art forms, helping others understand their cultural roots and contemporary relevance. Poetry is my way of painting with words. I express emotions and reflections through verses that capture the essence of moments. My writing extends to journaling, where I document thoughts and feelings, often accompanied by visual expressions that tell stories without words. Empowering women holds a special place in my heart. Through workshops, I use art as a means to inspire and build confidence. These sessions are not just about creating art; they're about creating a space where women can discover their strength and celebrate their uniqueness. Art, for me, is a universal language that connects people. Through mindful drawing, poetry, and workshops, I invite others to join me on a journey of self-expression and growth. I believe that art has the power to transcend boundaries, fostering understanding and appreciation among diverse cultures and generations. In the simplicity of strokes and the depth of colors, my bio unfolds as a story of passion, creativity, and a dedication to making a positive impact through the transformative power of art.

About the Podcast

Find Your Joy
Alison Perry-Davies’s belief is that wherever we come from, we have all known some level of pain, loss and trauma, these things do not need to define us. She doesn’t ignore that these things have happened; however, she decided this is not the way her story ends. Using integrated creative therapies along with sound and vibrational therapies she continues to explore and share complimentary healing modalities.

In this podcast she shares her story as well as having many other people sharing their stories about ways that they have found their healing and their way to find joy. Some of the guests will include authors, artists, painters, singers, songwriters, musicians, doctors, healers of different modalities, people who love to organize people who love to build things, people who find ways of raising dogs and kids and, you know, it really doesn't matter exactly what it is. It's all about finding our joy, and finding a way to make life work.
