Here is a link to a variety of 1-minute meditations for students, faculty, & staff.
All are invited to reflect and decompress in a mid-week, mid-day time of sacred music. Join Maury Allums, Director of Music, and the Emory University Office of Spiritual and Religious Life in taking a moment to breathe and connect with others in our community.
Check out their website for information about meeting times and schedules.
Previous meditations can be found at this YouTube page.
This team includes 55 full-time staff and 52 part-time staff who serve across the Emory Healthcare system 24/7.
This office is a university-wide office charged with supporting Emory’s religious and philosophical diversity for all students, faculty, and staff.
The calendar contains religious holiday information, contact information for our staff and affiliates, and highlights of some of our signature programs. We want you to know, you are deeply valued to us in the Emory community, and we want to support you however we can.
