Stillpoint is your weekly opportunity to slow down, re-center, and breathe. Join us each week on Tuesdays at 9pm in the Chapel for a 30-minute mini-retreat filled with candlelight, music, and poetry. 

“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths (Etty Hillesum).” 

Attention student musicians! Interested in playing for Stillpoint? Please email Rachel Lloyd, Department Coordinator to express your interest.

Established in 2018 with a seed grant from national leader Inter-Faith Youth Core, this selective fellowship program has been designed to help you recognize & respond to religious oppression and learn leadership skills to promote religious pluralism. Fellows will receive a small stiped upon completing the program. 

The application for the Spring 2024 cohort of Inter-Faith Fellows will open in November 2023. The fellowship is open to students of all or no religious background; students from underrepresented spiritual or ethical traditions are encouraged to apply. Join our for timely news and updates about the application.

Multifaith Meals are hosted a couple times per semester, usually in 30 College. They are a place for students of all faith backgrounds to share a meal together, and work to think about and plan programming for students and our campus. Usually we are also joined by the Staff and Faculty advisors to our affiliated student organizations. Join our to learn more about our current offerings and how to get involved.

As the name suggests, this annual event invites members of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ community to explore the intersections between sustainability and spirituality. Hosted in partnership with ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾’s Sustainability Office, each year an invited guest joins students over a meal for a talk highlighting how their values, beliefs, and ethical commitments inform their sustainability work. Attendees then engage in conversation with the speaker and one another to delve more deeply into the event themes. Stay tuned for more information about this year’s featured speaker.

The Rachel Lord Center offers a number of programs to support student spiritual wellbeing. 

In March 2024, the Center co-hosted the "Awakened Mind, Awakened Self" retreat for students. Co-hosted with Student Wellness, this retreat was funded through a grant from Columbia's Spirituality-Mind-Body Institute and centered on concepts from Dr. Lisa Miller's book "The Awakened Brain." 

At various times throughout the year, the Center hosts pop-up spiritual support spaces, including dinner dialogues, contemplative practices, guided mindfulness meditations, and grief circles. 

All students are welcome to schedule an individual appointment with any of our team members to talk about questions related to navigating big questions, making meaning of life's experiences, exploring values and purpose, and/or religious identity.
