Our drop-in centre offers a lounge and meditation space that welcomes all students, of any faith or religious denomination - and also for those with no religious affiliation at all! Feel free to walk in to use this space during our opening hours to meditate, relax, be inspired, learn, connect and recharge your batteries.

Our Interfaith Lounge

Lounge setting with blue couch on the right, green couch on the left, and round wooden table in the middle with plants and plates on top of it, and large green plants on the right side. Located on the third floor (room 36-2) of 3610 Rue McTavish, our Interfaith Lounge features a cozy seating area, meditative colouring books, lots of plants and natural light. We hope you will use our centre's space and resources to find meaning beyond academics and to form healthy life habits that invite spiritual well-being and inner peace.

This is a religion-and-spirituality positive space for dialogue on spiritual practice and well-being. While you are here, take time to engage with others, share your favorite book (browse our in-house library), or simply do some meditative colouring on your own or with a friend! Get inspired by talking to others in the lounge and learn how they incorporate spiritual practice into their lives.

We uphold mutual respect and embrace our diversity. All are welcome – whether you come from a particular religious tradition or none at all, you have a place here with us!

You can also enjoy free tea. Please bring your own mug or thermos

 

Spirituality and Wellness Library

Our drop-in centre features an in-house library with books regarding world religions, coping with stress, practicing mindfulness, spirituality, and many more. Please note that these books are for use in our lounge only. See our library page for information about the books we have.

 

Meditation and Prayer Room

A quiet room in our centre, room 36-3 of 3610 Rue McTavish, provides a non-denominational drop-in prayer and meditation space available during our opening hours. All are welcome, whether you are experienced in the practice of prayer and meditation, or just looking to try it out! 

We also offer meditation classes, online resources, and links to regular meetings which you can check out on our meditation page.
