Most people don’t think they need character training.
One’s character is constantly developing and it manifests in humans from a variety of sources. Visual & push messages, social bombardments, generational pressure, divergent vs. normative natural behaviors, friend or family influences, spiritual influences, and cultural messages all play a part in how we develop.
Join Elliot Ratzman and learn to “train” your ethical muscles, attend to others, and develop character practices for your life.
This workshop will meet for three sessions at the Center for Spiritual & Religious Life.
Please join with your fellow students and the community to celebrate Taizé at Sabin House / Center for Spiritual and Religious Life.
This Christian service has a warm glow of candlelight, the softness of song, plus affirming chant to make your frayed edges smooth.
Electronics keep us connected to a larger world. Right? But connection goes far beyond what the electronic world offers.
On February 7th, the Thursday of Reading Period, turn in your phone and/or your most used electronic device at the beginning of the day and take part in activities that will nourish and recharge your personal human battery.
Keep your eyes open for upcoming details on LU Unplugged activities, plus where and how to sign up. Plan on being unplugged from approximately 11am until 7pm. Participants will need to sign up in advance to be able to take part in any planned end of day meal activities, and space may be limited.
Don’t care about the details and can’t wait to sign up? Interested in hosting an activity? Just need a few more details?

The Office of Spiritual and Religious Life encourages the campus community to be aware of the many places where spirituality and choice intersect.
When you are making a reservation in the LU system, selecting this box can be a way to indicate that your program, meeting, class, or event could be characterized in this way.
Whether it is in Sabin House, Warch Center, the Diversity and Intercultural Center, or anywhere on campus, ask yourself if your room reservation enhances spiritual and religious life. If the answer is yes, then click the box.
By clicking the box, you’re also communicating via the SRL webpage under Programs & Events the details of your event. Spirituality and/or religion takes many forms and those choices are available for all.
Regular programs such as guided meditation and Saturday yoga will not be occurring, but students staff and faculty can still use the space for community meals, department retreats, planning sessions, or a quiet respite with lots of natural light.
*The second floor Group Room lets creative thought flow.
*The Meditation room is a great place to get centered, release tension.
*The Community Room usually has a place to sit or an open piano to play.
*The Living Room alcove’s natural light and a cozy table are great for a quiet lunch and that book you never get to read (the one you are reading for pleasure).
