Chaplaincy

Honorary International Chaplains, Yushin and Fumi from Japan Desk Scotland, will be delighted to welcome you to the Interfaith Room on Tuesdays 12-2pm for Calligraphy as meditation. Please note that the current sessions will pause for the Easter break following the session on Tuesday 1st April, but will return from 22nd April until 17th June, 2025.

All materials provided.

To find the Interfaith Room: from the West Quadrangle, enter door adjacent to the Chapel (where the Chaplaincy welcome sign is), then turn immediate left and down the stairs. We look forward to seeing you!

Calligraphy as Meditation

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). 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 (If you are late and/or find the doors locked, please ring 0141 330 1888 so we can let you in.)

For more information, e.g. to find out what the next topic will be, please contact Cosma.Gottardi@glasgow.ac.uk 

Please note that there is no Tranquility Zone during April 2025.

Join us in the Chaplaincy lounge* on Wednesday 2nd April, 2-2.45pm, 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

*Chaplaincy lounge is room 259 in the Chaplaincy offices, next to the Memorial Chapel in the main Gilbert Scott building.
