Village Auntie Institute

Have you ever set a goal in January, only to forget it by February? We all have. Resolutions fade because they’re loud on day one and quiet on day two.

The Practice of Intention is different. In this live, two-hour virtual workshop with Angelica Lindsey-Ali (The Village Auntie), we’ll close the year with clarity and begin the next with conviction. You’ll take stock of what this year gave and took, clarify your niyyah (intention), and craft a simple, faith-rooted plan you can actually keep.

The words we use to describe our lives become the boundaries of what we believe is possible. Language doesn’t just reflect our intentions, it directs them. This workshop will help you rewrite the way you talk to yourself when you plan, journal, and set goals—replacing guilt-based or performative phrasing (“I should,” “I must”) with clear, grounded statements that reflect your values and priorities. When your language, rituals, and actions align, intention becomes a practice, not a wish.

In The Practice of Intention, you’ll identify three core intentions - no more - and learn how to build gentle repetition around each one. Through small, repeatable actions anchored in your existing routines, you’ll create momentum that compounds over time. We’ll explore how to limit goals and increase repetition, the quiet formula that helps habits stick.

Science shows that we’re more motivated to start new habits at meaningful milestones, what psychologists call the “fresh start effect.” These moments help us mentally separate the “old me” from the “new me,” making change feel more achievable and giving our plans real psychological weight.

Join us at the year’s turning point to reset your mind, your language, and your habits. Expect gentle truth-telling, practical tools, and a space made for Muslim women.

This is 50 ✨❤️

Half a century of becoming, unbecoming, and becoming again.

Of laughter, tears, lessons, and prayers.

Of love so deep it remade me, and struggle so fierce it fortified me.

I step into this new decade sumptuous, rooted, and free. Alhamdulillah.

May the next chapter be one of joy, boldness, softness, and unapologetic rebirth. Ameen.

🤍🌿🌺 Happy Founders Day, TOA 🤍🌿🌺

Seven years strong and still becoming. TOA is so much more than what people assume it is. We are a league of extraordinary women crossing continents and time zones, yet never crossing boundaries.

What began with strangers has blossomed into sisterhood. From the Clearing, we emerge together, illustrious, rooted, and unshakable.

Grateful for seven years of laughter, healing, and growth. Praying for seventy times seventy more, inshaAllah. 🤍
