Wesh Lounik? is how we say “How are you?” in parts of the Arab world. Its literal meaning, “What’s your color?” shifts the question into something deeper, an invitation to explore one’s state of being. In this session, participants will reflect on the four temperaments and color psychology to uncover the shades that mirror their inner world. Together we will look at how colors carry meaning across cultures: red as luck in China and power in the United States, white as the Western bridal color while green has been worn in Saudi weddings, black as mourning in some places and white in others.

Each participant will then craft a misbah in colors that represent her personality, emotions, and journey. The misbah, or sibha, is a spiritual object found across cultures. In Saudi it embodies presence and dignity, in Morocco it is linked to Sufi tradition, and everywhere it remains a symbol of rhythm, meditation, and identity.
