Center for Spiritual Life

Sacred Places

At Brandeis, students drive the presence of religious resources and worship opportunities. With the support and guidance of the Center for Spiritual Life, students craft the landscape of religious life. Religious and spiritual gatherings take place in spaces that range from the original three chapels to the Muslim Prayer Room and the Dharmic Prayer Space, among others.
