I am here for you as a student. You get to decide what you want to discuss with me. I am here, of course, for those who want to talk about God. I am also here for those who need to talk about other matters.
Life is complex, and so is student life
Not all days are equally easy. It can sometimes be good to share difficult choices, thoughts, or painful emotions with someone. Perhaps you just need a companion to think out loud with? Or maybe you want to talk about faith - or doubt? I am here for you.
The quiet room
Sometimes we need a place to retreat to. A refuge from a sometimes hectic everyday life. A sanctuary from demands and expectations. A space for rest, prayer, meditation, and reflection. You can find such a room in Kristiansand and in Grimstad. This is not a consecrated room. We use it respecting each other - regardless of faith or belief. "The quiet room" is always open, so to speak. You are welcome to make use of it.
