The Center for Spiritual and Religious Life is a welcoming space for those of many faiths and beliefs around spirituality and religion. It is the campus space where all perspectives of spiritual thought can be considered and explored.

This weekend we will be welcoming conversation and reflection for those who identify as atheist, agnostic, non-believers, secular humanists, or questioning.

Open to Lawrence students, faculty, staff and alumni, the discussion will be led by senior Lawrentian and Interfaith Activator Emily Midyette.

Spring is a natural time of renewal where things begin to emerge from places that have been fallow. Where growth is encouraged, there is also a need for tending to that growth.

Join us at the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life to assemble your personal centering kit. Through objects or actions you can begin to select a path to reconnect with your center, the place from which you draw empathy, courage, strength, and love that then becomes joy in the world.

Allow yourself to experience silence, chant and prayer through Taize’. This will be the first of four services held at and around Lawrence during the Spring term. All are welcome.

This is the time of year when we begin to anticipate new life. Both in nature’s cycle and in our own lives. Anticipation motivates us to step out of our comfort zones and to dream about a different future.

Please join us and share your anticipation at Lawrence or in your larger life.

We invite Lawrence friends and faculty to come share their stories at this months Friday Lunch. Soup & Salad will be provided.
