Reflecting Rahma:

How to Build a Life Reflecting al-Rahman al-Rahim in 3 months

Salams There, Welcome!

The Rahma Course is for female-identifying humans who are on a healing and/or spiritual path. You will join a community of like-minded humans to grow and empower one another.


Stayed tuned for the next cohort coming soon!

Rahma, in Arabic, means mercy and compassion. The word rahm comes from the same root and means womb, a receptacle, a place of origin, compassion, and mercy.

We will go on a coaching journey to help you learn how to bring more compassion into your life. Basically, this is a course where you will learn how to be nice to yourself and to make compassion your default outlook.


Are you ready to?

  • Walk the path of growth and healing.
  • Receive support and a virtual sisterhood.
  • Gain tools that will help you ground yourself and gain clarity about what you want in life.
  • Start integrating regular practices into your life that are meaningful and mood boosting.
  • Give yourself the gift of time and commitment to loving yourself.
  • Replace your feelings of shame, guilt, and fear with communal and self-love and compassion.

It's exactly why I created...

The Rahma Course


Sincerely,

Dr. Rose Aslan

Are you ready?

to step out of your rut & into a life of abundance?

    So many women put off taking care of themselves, setting and honoring their boundaries, and making room for themselves in their lives. And for what? Does being exhausted, burnt out, and unfulfilled serve anyone?

    This course is for you if you've been putting off doing all the good things you know you'd like to incorporate into your life.


    Basically, this is a course where you will learn how to be nice to yourself and to make compassion your default outlook. Yes, it is probable that you neglect yourself in your attempt to people please yourself to fulfillment. But my dear, that method will not work!

    Instead, embodying compassion can bring you joy and fulfillment. This course will set you on the path away from burnout and feeling like you’re in a never-ending cycle of work, sleep, and household chores, inshallah, and towards saying yes to yourself.

    If you would like to find more ways to lean into manifesting your aspirations and finding balance in your life with compassion, then this course is for you!

      My Story

      Born and raised in California, I was a bookworm and seeker of knowledge and the Divine from a young age. I left the U.S. to pursue undergraduate studies in Canada and then moved to Egypt for five years for intensive Arabic and Islamic studies. I entered into an intense spiritual journey within the context of Islam and spirituality.

      I pursued a master’s degree in Arabic and Islamic studies and attended traditional circles of Islamic learning. I then returned to the U.S. for my Ph.D. in religious studies with a focus on Islam. I went through numerous existential crises, identity shifts, and intellectual growth along the way.

      I returned to California to work as a professor of religious studies at California Lutheran University. During that time, I volunteered my services in Muslim and interreligious communities, gave talks, organized events, and connected with people from diverse backgrounds.


      I then moved to Istanbul for my sabbatical. I found a slower pace of life but much fuller and decided to stay, leaving behind my position as a tenured professor.

      Along the way, I began coaching other women through their limiting beliefs and challenges, relationship issues, as well as religious identity and approach to religion. I sought out numerous healing modalities and revisited and processed past trauma and struggles.

      I now am a full-time transformational coach who serves women of all stripes who seek to connect with themselves and their inner wisdom and befriend their inner critic.


      ...and most importantly over the past years, I've been able to help dozens of OTHER women meet (and surpass) their goals to live a compassionate life and pursue their life vision. You can respect and love yourself while also serving others. This is EXACTLY why I created Compassion Flow Coaching so I can guide you to do this!


      How I Got Here

      This course will be led by Dr. Rose Aslan, founder and CEO of Compassion Flow Coaching.


      I am a transformational life coach, a scholar of religion and spirituality, and breathwork and mindfulness teacher. I coach spiritually-oriented women on living their lives with intention and compassion.

      I use tools such as:

      • Thought work
      • Deep listening & discussion
      • Reflective questioning
      • Intuition
      • Analytical reasoning
      • Observation and feedback
      • Mindfulness practices
      • Compassionate accountability
      • Guidance through clarifying activities
      • Building habits & rituals
      • Spiritual practices
      • Somatic experiencing
      • Breathwork

      As I explore a myriad of ways to fill my own cup, I have found my ability to coach and support other women increase. My passion is to help other women dig into the richness of their lives so they can positively affect those around them and live their lives intentionally.

        Rose brought together amazing women from all over the world and helped build a community of love and support in a matter of weeks. She was generous with her time and skills and was a great model for compassion. She assisted us in creating the environment that would work best for us by encouraging us to set our own guidelines for the space. She then diligently assured that those guidelines were maintained for the safety and openness of the group. Lastly, she identified strengths in each person and paved the way for those strengths to shine. I am grateful to have known and benefitted from her.

        Miriam B.

        With intentionality, Rose perfectly balances the role of leader and listener. She is an experienced educator that has taught me how to part the proverbial rain clouds and let the sunshine in! I came to Rose riddled with insecurities about my understanding of, relationship to, and place in Islam. Rose’s program has taught me strategies to untangle my own cultural versus religious confusions. One of the ways she has done this is by teaching me to listen to and trust myself! Rose has strengthened and supported me by reminding me of and teaching me the importance of self-compassion. Rose has always handled my most vulnerable moments with the utmost respect, dignity, and confidentiality. By learning how, as she describes, to fill my own cup first, my family is now nourished by the healthiest and most complete version of me.

        Rou E.

        I have known Rose for 20 years. The Rahma Course and her workshops have transformed my life. I especially benefit daily from the negation to affirmation exercises. What a joyful, safe, interactive space she cultivates. I would encourage all my friends to join her program. Rose is a treasure who helps you retrieve your hidden treasures.

        Seemi Ghazi

        I learned so much from Rose's gentle and wise way of working with me and the others in the group. I am grateful for the light she helped me shine on my own personal growth and the encouragement to cultivate a joyful life. The work we did together has been a doorway for the goals I want to accomplish throughout this next year. At the end of the course I felt closely connected to the beautiful women who went on this journey with me and I look forward to saying in touch with my new found sisters.

        Fatima C.

        I was hungry for some spiritually guided advice on some mundane struggles, and Rose's Rahma course provided me with that, and much more! Rose opened up the space and guided us along the way. The participants listened to and inspired each other. It was very beneficial to have conversations with a group of women who were from different backgrounds, in different situations, talented in their own ways, and who nonetheless shared a similar spiritual foundation. I left the course with not only some spiritual guidance but also some practical steps to better organize my life.

        Mariana Nabila Evans

        I was hesitant at first to join this community as I was worried that it would be another kind of pressure to “accomplish” self-care goals in some pre-determined “right way.” Rose was very generous in taking time to listen to me, validate my concerns, and assure me that there was room for me and what I needed. In my time working with her, Rose has shown a true passion and gift for helping people connect to what matters to them. She is also very skilled in mediating group situations where the needs and goals of different members may be very different from one another. She is thoughtful, gentle, and creative, and her words and actions reflect a commitment to ensuring that everyone feels included.

        Krista Riley

        I joined Rose’s coaching program knowing that I needed help aligning my path and narrowing down my goals for the year…what I didn’t know I needed was the community and cheerleaders I received with it. Being part of a Muslim-focused coaching group felt a bit intimidating at first, but the main ingredient Rose sprinkles over everything is empathy and compassion - Rahma. Coming from a trauma-informed perspective, Rose held space for my peers and me to share without fear of judgment, to cry without embarrassment, and to laugh joyfully in the company of the other women who, although their journeys were all so different, found a common ground to land softly upon. I began my journey on the course feeling overwhelmed, under-prepared and overextended, and over the period of 8 weeks I was able to not only gain a clearer picture of my wants, needs, and ambitions but I had a game plan on how to achieve them. As women doing multiple things in life, lots of the time on our own, it’s not only important but vital to prioritize ourselves by practising self-care, and one of the ways to do that is to become clearer on exactly what you want to accomplish but in a way that feels gentle and authentic to you and your lived experience. Investing in ourselves is something that doesn’t come easy for many of us but when you do you will understand why you must always give yourself air - and Rahma - first.

        Allison Y.

        I greatly benefitted from Rose’s ability to change my perspective on thinking about an issue I was battling with. It was liberating to see the same problem from an entirely new lens. She helped me ease into a career change I was pursuing. The benefit was obvious from session one. I especially loved the mindfulness exercise devoted to self care.

        FAQ

        • I'm not sure I'm ready - who is this program best for?

        • If you would like a fresh start in life and want a sustaining mindset shift that will last you for years to come, feel free to reach out and book a time to chat so I can answer all of your questions. You can also DM me on Instagram or through Facebook.

        • I'm busy! How much time will this require?

        • If you're a busy person with a full schedule and overwhelmed, you're exactly whom I designed this program for. We will meet each week for 90 minutes and you will have practices to do in between our sessions that will increase your level of self-compassion & love. But of course, what you get out of the program is how much you put into it.

        • I see that you're a scholar of Islam and religious studies, will this be an Islamic studies course? Will we study topics in Islam?

        • This is a group coaching course and while I am designing the course for self-identifying women who are on a healing and/or spiritual path. I will present some material through an Islamic-inspired framework, but I will not be teaching any Islamic studies content although we discuss this topic as it comes up and is relevant to our curriculum and needs of participants. Coaching is entirely different from teaching content such as Islamic studies, to better understand what coaching is, please visit my website for a brief overview. This course is about inspiring a mindset shift in all of the students so that you can live your life in a way that is aligned with your values and life goals.
