Meditation and Prayer Space

Spiritual practice can look very different for different people- just another example of how we are all unique! MORSL provides space and resources for students to pursue, begin or experiment with self-directed activities such as prayer, meditation, mindful colouring, contemplative reading and journaling. Come to our drop-in centre to learn more about how you can get started or nurture your spiritual practice at your own pace!

A quiet room in our drop-in centre provides a meditation and prayer space available during our opening hours. Its resources include:

  • Various seating options: mats, cushions, chair-height bench, Zazen-style bench

  • Soft carpet for kneeling

  • Space for wheelchair users

  • Soft ambient lighting to aid with focus and relaxation

  • A relaxation/meditation audio listening station (bring your headphones)

  • Inspirational quotes and reflections to guide meditation

  • A light therapy station (first-come, first-serve basis) - Read instructions on how to use these lamps.

  • Colouring materials and "make your own mantra" supplies

All are welcome, whether you are experienced in the practice of prayer and meditation, or just looking to try it out! No appointment necessary, and no time limit on your practice. We also offer classes and group meditation programs, which you can check out on our weekly meditation page.
