An Immersive Ramadan Experience for Therapists

Registration closes Sunday, February 22.

Cultural Field Guides is SCV-CAMFT's innovative new initiative designed to immerse therapists in the living contexts of the communities we serve.

Join us at the mosque for an intimate evening of cultural immersion, breaking the Ramadan fast alongside our Muslim community

This transformative 4-hour cultural immersion experience invites marriage and family therapists to step beyond the therapy room and into lived cultural experience. As the sun sets, you'll participate in Iftar—the breaking of the daily fast—while gaining invaluable insights into Islamic traditions, family dynamics, and the profound role of faith in mental health and healing.

What You'll Experience:

• Witness and participate in the Iftar ritual, understanding its spiritual and communal significance
• Share a traditional meal while engaging in guided dialogue with community members
• Explore how Ramadan practices shape family relationships, resilience, and emotional well-being
• Learn culturally-responsive approaches for working with Muslim clients and families
• Develop deeper cultural humility through embodied experience rather than academic study

For Therapists Who Understand: Your clients' stories are inseparable from their cultural and spiritual contexts. This workshop moves beyond cultural competency check boxes into genuine human connection and understanding.

Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of this experience.
