June 2026

10-17 - Neurodiversity Pride Week

Neurodiversity Pride Day in 2025 will be on June 16th. It's a day to acknowledge and celebrate the unique strengths and differences of neurodivergent individuals, like those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurological variations.

16-17 - Al Hijri

Unlike the often festive and extroverted New Year celebrations of other calendars, the Islamic New Year is usually a quiet occasion. During this time, Muslims reflect on the passage of time and their mortality. It’s a moment of introspection and spiritual contemplation. When the Hijri New Year arrives, it enters the Muharram (the first month of the calendar). It’s a sacred month to Muslims, known as the month of remembrance.

The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is 12 months long. However, it differs from the Gregorian calendar, which follows the orbit of the Earth around the sun. Rather, the Hijri calendar follows the lunar cycle, the moon’s orbit around the Earth. As such, each Islamic month begins when a new moon is sighted.
