From the Office of Spiritual Life

A Mourning Ritual

As humans, we all need space to grieve and process our loss, and the world has rarely been slowed enough to give us that space. While the Office of Spiritual Life hoped to have an in-person vigil this month to mourn a year of COVID, the virus continues to make such gatherings unsafe. They’ve created a ritual for this time that you can participate in at home, alone, with your family, in your residence hall room, over Zoom or FaceTime, or with your roommates. It is intended to be used by people of various faiths or no religious identity. Please click here to access the ritual.

Thresholds Small Group

Join us for a student small group that will explore a variety of spiritual practices from many traditions, cultivating our inner lives for greater peace and wholeness. The group will meet weekly for four weeks starting the week of Jan. 25 at a time agreed upon by the participants. Remote and in-person meeting opportunities will be available and no preparation will be required. Interested or have questions? Please contact Tiffany Cox.
