Amid full calendars and constant motion, the Ignatian tradition gently reminds us: pause, and you will find God here too.
This fall, the Faber Center offers sacred spaces to step away from the rush — to breathe, to listen, and to be renewed. Whether through familiar gatherings or new opportunities, each offering is an invitation to:
- Step away from the noise and reconnect with what matters most
- Gather fresh resources that nourish your mind, heart and soul
- Return to your daily life renewed, ready to make a difference in ways both small and profound
The Faber Center invites faculty and staff to join — not as another task on your list, but as a gift to yourself. The Faber Center provides a place to find community and belonging. Let these moments be a gentle turning toward peace and a reminder that even the smallest pause can ripple outward into the world.
Whether you come from a faith background or simply seek a moment of quiet, all are welcome. Here are some upcoming opportunities to explore:
