25. A. Helwa on How to Embark on Your Spiritual Journey, and “Secrets of Divine Love.”

A. Helwa on How to Embark on Your Spiritual Journey, and “Secrets of Divine Love.” A. Helwa is a writer, poet, and has a Master Degree in Divinity. Helwa is the *anonymous* author of the brilliant book, Secrets of Divine Love: A Journey into the Heart of Islam. One night, I proposed on Instagram a potential Secrets of Divine Love book club. I read the first few pages of the book years prior, and I knew I couldn’t read this deeply spiritual book alone. My DMs were flooded with the sentiment of people who were also waiting for the right time and group to read the book with. So, a couple days before Ramadan began, we shared a sign up for the first AYS book club and 1100+ people signed up!! This book club has become a loving and curious community, with A. Helwa’s words bringing us all together — Helwa even joined the book club herself! This storytelling session digs into questions to ask and tools to use when embarking on your own spiritual quest. May this conversation serve as a gift and companion to you, wherever you may be. In this episode, I ask all my curious questions, and we even took questions from, YOU! So look out for those around the 1:00:00 mark! Themes and Questions Include: How is Your Heart? What does it feel like, look like, to embark on a spiritual journey? How does your family, community react to embarking on your own journey? How do we navigate disconnection and absolutism that my truth is the Only Truth? A spiritual journey while getting lost in a desert, literally. What is a question you’re asking yourself these days? What is book is currently serving as your companion?
