Labyrinth_2Labyrinth

Look out for our walking meditation. Roughly once a term we bring on to campus a quarter-scale replica of Chartres Cathedral's medieval labyrinth. Walking the labyrinth can be a deeply relaxing and meditative experience.

Taizélit Candles

We hold a monthly prayer service using Taizé chants and readings on the fourth Wednesday of the month. The service is quiet and meditative with singing, short readings and silence, and is usually followed by hot chocolate! Email for details, or visit the Taizé website.
