A stranger? Yourself? Is restoration always the best solution when something is broken? Where can we find beauty in brokenness, and brokenness in beauty?</p> Fri, 20 Jan 2023 17:09:29 +0000 candice.wendt@mcgill.ca 2440 at /morsl /morsl/article/interfaith-dialogue/sikh-faith-and-academic-life <p>At many universities, the wave to achieve academic merit can often sweep students away. In many instances, advancement in today's modern world becomes a domineering focus in many aspects of life. Religion and faith seem to have little place in the academic struggle, as religious principles may seemingly hinder the attainment of one's goals. However, the creation of a medium between faith and academic pursuits may be more fulfilling in the long run.</p> Thu, 24 Nov 2022 18:23:19 +0000 Gurinder Samrai 2400 at /morsl /morsl/article/spiritual-wellness/finding-spiritual-renewal-summer <p>Summer is a great time for extra rest, spending time in nature, and creative activities. At MORSL, we're aware that nature and art are very important to many students, including when it comes to spirituality. In a recent talk given to colleagues across Canada, MORSL's director Carlene discussed how based on recent research, Gen Z young adults report experiences in nature and artistic activities to be among their most highly prioritized and valued personal spiritual practices.</p> Thu, 03 Nov 2022 20:24:12 +0000 MORSL 2380 at /morsl /morsl/article/spiritual-wellness/thoughts-meditation-and-prayer <p>Recently I've read various thoughts about meditation and prayer that have stuck with me. Journalist Johann Hari's book <i>Lost Connections</i> discusses the power of regular meditation to bring healing from anxiety and depression. It opens space for transcendent insight and new meanings and choices available to us. Meditative states allow us to shed the weight of our egos, including worrying about what others think, self-defensiveness, self-criticism, shame, etc.</p> Thu, 20 Oct 2022 20:28:18 +0000 Candice Wendt 2361 at /morsl /morsl/learn-and-grow/religious-diversity/panel-spiritual-health-during-covid-19 <div> <bignumber> <bnvalue> <h4>Panel Discussion: Spiritual Health During COVID-19</h4> </bnvalue> </bignumber> </div> <blockquote></blockquote> Mon, 27 Apr 2020 15:16:17 +0000 farlina.zailanni@mcgill.ca 1980 at /morsl /morsl/article/spiritual-wellness/everything-im-not-made-me-everything-i-am <p>I was excited to see that the prompt for this season’s submissions was “well-being,” because I felt like I had things to say about this topic. But it didn’t take much preliminary writing to see a pattern of thought emerge which was far more concerned with the idea of improving one’s self rather than finding wellness for the self. This conflation didn’t surprise me. On the contrary, it was familiar to me – a place I had operated from for a long time. How can I get higher grades, how can I be healthier, how can I know and do more, etc.</p> Tue, 25 Oct 2022 19:41:01 +0000 Jen Kaumeyer 2366 at /morsl /morsl/channels/event/my-neighbours-faith-visit-kahnawake-301319 <p>Want to learn about local Indigenous perspectives on faith and spirituality?
