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.

We meet at the rear of the Memorial Chapel for tea/coffee and cake, plus participant-led conversation. All students are welcome.

Death Cafe Dates for the coming academic year are as below, meeting from 1-2pm:

Semester 1:

• Thursday 8th October 2026
• Thursday 5th November 2026
• Thursday 3rd December 2026

Semester 2:

• Thursday 21st January 2027
• Thursday 18th February 2027
• Thursday 18th March 2027

As always, 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.
