Weekly Meditation Groups hosted at MORSL and in the greater community
Quaker Practice
To join the Quaker meeting Whatsapp Group and receive updates about when and where the group will be meeting, please email david [at] montreal.quaker.ca (subject: Quaker%20Meeting) (David). You can also request updates by morsl [at] mcgill.ca (emailing MORSL) (morsl [at] mcgill.ca). During the school year, the group usually meets weekly or bi-weekly on Wednesdays at MORSL.
What to expect: The essence of the Quaker tradition is that there is something divine in every person. Thus, no need for priests, hierarchy, or dogma; there are atheist Quakers, Buddhist Quakers, Christian Quakers, and more. Quakers meet in stillness and silence: the goal of this practice is to discern our highest truth so we can speak and act from it. Sometimes, it feels right to share something from that encounter with the group. If so, we speak it aloud.
McGill Meditation Club
During the Fall and Winter semesters, the McGill Meditation Club usually meets weekly in MORSL's beautiful meditation and non-denominational spiritual reflection space during the school year. The goal of the club is to foster the practice of meditation, and discuss the theory behind it. Please be aware that spaces are limited and first come, first served. Follow their IG page and/or MORSL's events page for details about the upcoming session schedule, or meditation [at] ssmu.ca (email) them for more info.
Contemplative Circle
Join student facilitators Kook and Josh during the school year for a 90-minute session grounded in Tibetan Buddhist practices. Each session blends a contemplative practice with discussion. Open to all students—whether or not you follow a spiritual path. No prior experience needed. (Whether this group will be meeting at MORSL during the 2026-27 school year will be announced soon).
Off-Campus Mindfulness Meditation
MORSL is grateful to have benefited from the expertise and generosity of meditation facilitator Devaki Groulx, who volunteered for several years at MORSL to teach various techniques. Devaki has been practicing meditation under the guidance of Spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy since 1972 and teaching meditation since the 80s. She is the co-leader of the Sri Chinmoy Meditation Centre with her husband, Vidura, who was also a volunteer facilitator with MORSL. Their centre hosts free online meditation classes but registration is required. Find out more on the Montreal Meditation website, where you'll find registration and schedules for upcoming local meditation classes.
