Be-Friend: The Interfaith Friendship Program

Virtual and In-person options

Great news: Be-Friend is back, in its fifth year! This semester-long interfaith friendship project is designed for participants to go deep and to talk about the things that matter like our values, our sense of purpose, and our questions about life. You will hone the skills of active listening while experimenting with shared spiritual practices from different religious and philosophical traditions. Our multifaith chaplains have contributed to the program, offering a diverse array of spiritual practices, including nature walks, meditation exercises, listening to music, deep reading—of poetry, art, the world, our lives and one another. Participating students, graduate students, and staff/faculty will be paired, committing to spending an hour together each week. Students will be paired with other students, and the same for staff/faculty. The program will begin the first week of February. All are welcome! Please sign up through the links below by January 31. Associate Director Lynn Cooper (Lynn.Cooper@tufts.edu) if you have any questions. Sign up here. Learn about our first year of Be-Friend here.
