And next week, on Tuesday 10^th of March, the University have kindly allowed us to go on a very special trip to the archives, looking over important historical documents that have made history here at the University and further far afield!

Sisters Together is a collaboration between the Inter-faith Chaplaincy and the International Student Support team.

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 free Calligraphy as Meditation sessions.

In 2026, sessions will re-start on 20 January through to 17 March, inclusive, then from 21 April to 23 June.

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 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.

Although we usually meet in the rear of the Memorial Chapel, due to scheduled organ works this semester, we're meeting in the Inter-faith Chaplaincy Lounge (Room 259 within Chaplaincy offices, adjacent to the Memorial Chapel).

Don't know where that is? We can meet with anyone who doesn't know how to get there at the Lion and Unicorn Staircase on Professors' Square at 1.30pm to guide you to the right place.

Don't worry, we'll still enjoy tea/coffee and cake together! We'll then engage in a participant-led conversation. All students are welcome.

Death Cafe will return in Semester 2 of 2025/26 on the dates below. See you then!

• Thursday 29 January, 1.30pm
• Thursday 26 February, 1.30pm
• Thursday 26 March, 1.30pm

In the meantime, 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 

Feeling the need to be still for a moment within our busy campus? 

Join us for a Quaker-led 20 minutes of silence every Thursday at midday at the University Peace Bench.
