Small Group Experiences

First Semester Groups

These mentor-led small groups offer first-semester students safe, noncompetitive places to reflect on their personal spiritual lives and how they are being affected by the seminary experience. Students coming from spiritually different places walk with and hold space with each other. They share their own spiritual journeys and explore new forms of spiritual practice.

First semester small groups are open to all Yale Divinity School students free of charge. 

Additional Small Group Experiences

Other small groups are offered for students beyond their first semester at Yale Divinity School free of charge.

These groups may focus on 

  • a particular topic
  • a person of prayer
  • a way of praying

Students are welcome to these groups whether or not they are meeting with a mentor for wayfinding!
