Fourth Friday Lunch-Mark Your Calendars!

It’s back…and open only to Staff and Faculty.

From 12-1 at Sabin House / Center for Spiritual and Religious Life.
On September 28, join in community for soup and salad, continued welcome sentiments, and a discussion around “Beginnings”.

Beginnings can require an ending.  What is an ending that you might be facing as this academic year begins?  What resources help you let go with grace and hope?

Intersections – the Spirituality of Water

The Spirituality of Water will be explored on 9/26, 10/3, and 10/10.
This Fall’s Intersections  series will travel around campus and beyond to explore and discuss various water centered places and their many meanings.

Essential to the earth and to our being. Essential for healing and nourishing.  Be a part of explorations around water and the many ways that its spiritual expansiveness can be experienced.

Movement * Worship * Open House

Movement

Tai Chi begins on Monday, September 17th at 4:15 in Esch Hurvis.  Attend and enjoy this meditation in motion each Monday during term just before Yoga class for energy and connection. All are welcome.

Worship

Jumma prayer shuttles on Friday and hosts to local churches on Sunday.  Enjoy  community, enjoy environment, and connect IRL. Speak or be silent. Be present.

Open House – Take root in Fall term

These plants won’t solve your problems, but they clean the air around you, are great listeners that grow with your voice, invite compassion and a calming presence, and are easier to care for than you’d guess.  A natural reminder not to over-complicate or overthink. All are welcome.

Jumma and Ramadan

Ramadan Mubarak

During Ramadan it’s especially nice to be able to connect with community during Jumma, and continue the traditions of your faith.

There is space to pray at the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life, or we can connect you with Lawrentians that may be headed out to pray with the larger Muslim community.

Contact the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life for additional details.

Fourth Friday Lunch – May 25th

Come prepared to share a place on campus or in your private life that that helps you get beyond yourself.

Speak, listen, contribute by your presence, or maybe encourage a friend to join you.  It’s a great time to get out and walk across campus, enjoy your coworkers, and move your mind to a casual contemplation. It’s refreshing.

Staff and faculty are welcome to join us for a fresh salad and/or soup plus great conversation.

No RSVP required. Sabin House Kitchen.  Noon to 1pm, May 25.
