Spiritual Wellness

Dalhousie Multifaith Centre

The Dalhousie Multifaith Centre strives to explore the fundamental issues and concerns of the world from a religious perspective in a setting that encourages open and free discussion, values the raising of questions and doubts, and appreciates divergent histories, attitudes, options, and values. A complete education addresses the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

The Centre is a non-threatening space where students, staff, and faculty can address the basic questions of meaning and purpose in their lives — no matter what their faith, philosophy, or doubt may be.

Quiet Room

Throughout the year, from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., the Quiet Room is available to all students, staff, and faculty who want a quiet place for reflection, meditation, or prayer. There are also Quiet Rooms in the Killam Library and on the Sexton Campus next to the gymnasium.
