Harvard Law School Interfaith and Meditation Space 

Harvard Law School Interfaith and Meditation Space 

An attractive, austere room tucked into a corner of Wasserstein Hall and accessible only to students, it features sleek white oak lockers, kneelers, and racks to hold shoes; colorful prayer rugs and pillows for meditation; and a large window, 5 feet high, the bottom half of which is frosted to preserve privacy while letting in soft light.

The Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Space is located inside of the Student Organization Workroom on the second floor of Wasserstein Hall. Opened at the start of 2017–18 academic year, the HLS Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Space offers students a unique place for religious observance, meditation, and prayer.  The Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Space is one of several spaces on campus offering students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to engage in meditation and prayer.  

The space is managed by the Office of Community Engagement, Equity, and Belonging (CEEB). Access is available to HLS students only.
