In this live SAND Conference talk, Mona offers some beautiful sacred wisdom from her Islamic tradition with that special Science and Nonduality flavor weaving her talk through the ancient and the modern, the light and dark in this talk.
In this talk she leads the live audience in some breathwork, chanting, and singing, so we invite you to tone along wherever you’re listening. She touches into:
- Heart consciousness
- Sacred Rhythmic Vibrations
- Resonance
- Becoming Beauty
- And experiencing the infinite
And after the talk we have a special musical treat. Mona is a renowned recording artist and performer. And we’ll be featuring her song, “Hijabi (Wrap my Hijab)” after the talk so stick around for that!

Mona Hayder is a rapper, poet, activist, meditator, and speaker. She practices a life of sacred activism, contemplating, and advocacy for living gently upon the Earth. She offers concerts workshops, and leads retreats and gives lectures at universities all over the world.
