Spiritual Guidance

Reverend 玛蒂尔达坎特维尔 is trained in giving interfaith guidance and are available to meet with students for a heart-to-heart chat when needed. Spiritual guidance encompasses everything from the deep questions of life, to loving support for a person in times of stress or trouble. It is not based in any particular religious viewpoint.

Some reasons to come to the Center for 宗教 and 精神生活 and talk include:

  • Feeling overwhelmed and just needing a friendly face and someone with an open heart who will listen
  • Looking for general guidance, direction, and an “ear” to help you discern your own truth
  • Needing a “fresh eye” to help in a given situation
  • Wanting a way to converse about an issue using a spiritual vocabulary

Spiritual guidance differs from psychological counseling in that there is no plan, 没有目标, no one takes notes. We are just here to chat and we would love to have you visit. All of our services are confidential and are offered to persons of any belief, faith or mixed faith background. We aim to support all seekers in the Smith community.

宗教餐厅

Smith respects the role of food in the lives of students, not only for physical sustenance, but as an expression of culture and faith. The Center for 宗教 & 精神生活 works with 餐饮服务 to provide daily and holiday meals in accordance with Jewish and Muslim religious requirements (see Dietary Accommodations). If you have questions about whether our dining meets your religious requirements, please contact 餐饮服务 or send an email to 玛蒂尔达坎特维尔.
