Tranquility Zone, 1st and 3rd Monday each month
The Tranquility Zone is a calm, meditative space for UofG students and staff amongst the busyness of campus life. Join us to listen to relaxing instrumental music and hear inspirational quotations on the theme for the evening (such as love, truthfulness, generosity); see listing below. You can bring quotations to share, or simply listen to others. Following this, you’re invited to stay on and have a cup of tea, some light refreshments and uplifting conversations about what you’ve just heard.
Each session will be led by Dr Cosma Gottardi, our Honorary Bahá’í Chaplain and will be held in room 259 of the Inter-faith Chaplaincy offices (entering the main Gilbert Scott building via the Lion and Unicorn staircase on Professors’ Square).
For more information, please contact chaplaincy@glasgow.ac.uk or Cosma.Gottardi@glasgow.ac.uk

Death Cafe, 5 December
The Inter-faith Chaplaincy offers a monthly Death Cafe which aims to provide a safe space for students to talk about matters related to death and dying, in an informal environment. We meet in the rear of the Memorial Chapel and enjoy tea/coffee and cake together before engaging in a participant-led conversation. All students are welcome.
Our next Death Cafe is on Thursday 5 December at 1.30pm.
If you would prefer to have a one to one conversation with a Chaplain about death and bereavement, please contact us by email and we can set up a supportive conversation with you: chaplaincy@gla.ac.uk
Mindfulness with Amy, 10 December
COMING SOON!
Aimed at students, we're offering the first of a series of free mindfulness sessions next month.
Join us in the Memorial Chapel on Tuesday 10th December, 3.30-4.30pm, where you will be welcomed by Amy Copsey, a trained mindfulness and compassion teacher with the Mindfulness Association.
No previous experience or equipment needed - just come along and learn to breathe and relax. For more information, please contact chaplaincy@glasgow.ac.uk
