Reflection Center

A place for Meditation, Prayer, Reflection, or other forms of individual religious expression including opportunities for interreligious dialogue, interfaith education, and spiritual practice. Utah Valley University is committed to providing meaningful activities that contribute to students’ physical, academic, social, and spiritual well-being whether you believe in God, Gods, or no god.

Our Space

We want students to find a space to express their religious or ethical identity, be challenged by hearing about other identities, and be equipped to find ways to be in relationship no matter how we orient around religion.

A Taste of Faith

In the Spring 2021, the Reflection Center invites you to participate in A Taste of Faith. The event series will include online gathering and cooking demonstration while learning about a food dish related to a worldview tradition or practice. Ingredients are Free!

All are Welcome, yet seats are limited!

RSVP to the event!

Mindfulness Workshop

The mindfulness workshop is a reflective time for all people. Participants from any worldview background are welcome to participate in person (seating limited) every Thursday in the Reflection Center at 10 am, or join virtually by emailing Kerri for the link to join.

Every Thursday at 10am!

Convening Room

The Convening Room is a space for religious club meetings, gatherings, and interfaith events. This is not a place that tells you how to engage in your faith, but engages you in opportunities to learn more about interfaith dialogue and the beliefs and practices of others. The library is an important part of this process along with the activities and events held in the space.

Meditation Room

The Meditation Room is the room at the end of the hallway. It is an intentionally silent space. There are meditation cushions available to borrow from the staff. We also try to keep the space technology free with the exception of meditation apps or timers.
