Once again, The Guibord Center and IslamiCity are bringing together people with rich spiritual backgrounds and diverse perspectives to share powerful stories from the heart and invite you into the conversation.

Our storytellers will share their experiences and the wisdom they have leaned on in those challenging moments. Our Moderator and Speakers for this event: REGISTER
