Lunch and conversation is offered for Lawrence employees on the fourth Friday of each month when classes are in session. This luncheon offers a space for the staff and faculty to share personal experiences around a specific topic, enjoy a presence of community outside of the classroom or office, and connect over a simple soup and salad.
No reservation required. Check Facebook or the LU calendar for additional details.
This fun active meditation is a great place to share your energy with another. Using polymer clay, you can create a small 'drop' that Center staff will bake and make available to be shared with other visitors to the space. Place your gratitude, worry, or just plain nervous energy into a tangible form, and then allow it to absorb a new meaning for someone else.
Drop in anytime and create a water drop of your own.
The Spiritual Lives at Lawrence project seeks to create a video library of diverse persons from across campus talking about their spiritual and religious experiences and practices. Everyone is invited and encouraged regardless of your background or current spiritual identity. I hope you will find time to participate through a 20-minute conversation with me (Dean Morgan-Clement). We will film the interviews and edit them down to approximately 5-8 minute segments which will then be added to the library. Together this collection of conversations will tell the story of individual and collective spiritual lives at Lawrence and serve as a catalyst for more awareness and engagement with one another toward respectful spiritual and religious development and understanding.

As a place for knowledge and reference, there exists a growing collection of books in the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life. You can explore our house library to find resources for spiritual exploration and you’ll come across introductions, poetry, sacred texts (the non-electronic kind), novels, spiritual guidance, and much more. There is even a game or two in and among the bookshelves! Long live the written word and the special places it gives humans access to.
There are a few books you will find to put your colorful expressions in a safe place. Coloring for adults is a visit to a simple time and this active meditation allows the person coloring to let thoughts, emotions, grief, happiness, fear, joy or uninhibited assessments occur. Color in our books, or bring your own. Colored pencils provided.
