Welcome to Ramadan Circle Time
Salaam Alaikum!
Welcome to Ramadan Circle Time. My name is Nesa, I'm a speech-language pathologist living in Toronto. My family and I have a tradition of getting together in the morning to have a family circle. In our family circle, we talk about how we're feeling, our intentions, and just share a story and dua'a together. I wanted to extend this to our global family as many of us are at home. To have a chance to connect and maybe have a spiritual moment together.
Enjoy!
