| Soup and Storytime
Every Tuesday from 12pm - 1pm
Ida Noyes, Room 034
What does a story do for you? How do narratives help us be who we want to be? Let’s read some stories together, and find out. Every week we’ll get together to read a short piece from a tradition, go through a facilitated meditation, and share our thoughts. Soup will be provided and you can drop in any time!
In this program, Spiritual Life gets together to read stories from different traditions and learn how they help us live our lives. For any questions for accommodations, please email spirit@uchicago.edu.
