The ‘Water drop” collection grows.
Some people take their meditation in the form active hands. Some create a drop, and others enjoy having a memento of the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life to remind them of a particularly special day. Whatever your reason for interacting with the molding clay, it’s a good one.
New books arriving regularly.
And they may not be what you would think to find. Poetry, novels by spiritual authors, easy meditative practices and phrases for guidance, as well as sacred texts and interesting translations. Stay and read, take a book with you as a check-out, or make a suggestion to the dean if you know of a moving and spiritual read.
Pencils sharpened…get set…color.
Yes. College students color. University professors color. Staff take mental breaks and color. We provide a contemplative book and some sharpened pencils, but don’t be limited by that. Your own markers are also welcome. Plus, your parents are always asking what you’ve been up to at school…Low tech and snail mail can say a lot to a person.
If you are taking time on Wednesday, February 14th to begin the Lenten season with ashes, there are several local churches where you can find services that will help you begin your reflective journey before the observance of Easter.

Join the Dean of the Conservatory as you explore the concepts of sound and experience the world through a greater appreciation of hearing and listening, recalling, and creating.
This circle provides a safe space to connect with the greater community. They are an opportunity for a community to come together, slow down, and connect around stories and themes that everyone can relate to in some way. Participants share to the extent that they feel comfortable. Topics are set to allow the circle to share and different depths, with one person talking at a time, each person is seen and heard.
No two stories are alike, and telling a story is connecting with others.
You are invited to explore the video series for yourself and consider how your shared story would look. Telling your spiritual story means sharing a part of your identity.
The Spiritual Lives at Lawrence video series allows members of the Lawrence community an opportunity to let their story be known, and to let others into this special part of their identity.
Consider what your spirituality means to you, what your journey has been, and sign up to be a part of the series.
Intensions – having good intentions and making resolutions is only the beginning. How do we really go about creating new habits, new mind sets, and making changes that feel good and last?
Join us at Center for Spiritual and Religious Life for this discussion, and enjoy soup and salad as we explore this topic.
