UVic Caring Project
Small things done with care .
A project by Christopher Bowers… Spiritual Care Provider with UVic’s Multifaith Centre
Our homes, neighbourhoods and wider communities could do with more caring acts. Having some examples can be helpful in becoming aware of different ways of engaging in caring actions, and prompting more ‘moments’ big or small.
How you can be involved — local action What was a caring moment you witnessed or experienced? We would love you to share written or video posts below. If you’d like some help with recording , contact us to have your story recorded ( video or audio). Here are some video examples from UVic and beyond. We also have an Instagram account, and Facebook Group that you’re welcome to contribute to.
A chance encounter across campus provided opportunities to give Will a hand with an item he left on the bus, and in turn he had a few minutes to share how he cares and supports individuals and groups with his unique skill set.

As you already pointed out, the offerings don’t need to be grandiose in any way. Seeing significance in small gifts is something that helps us all to recognize the divine in our lives
It’s partially a matter of programming myself to recognize and record things that happen, such as people connecting with each other through volunteering to help set up and clean up around the Campus Conversations and Meditation Soup Supper last Thursday.
Daily collisions with caring people We had a few minutes at a conference at UVic… So many new ideas shared here… where we might find care and support in our busy days; that collisions can bring benefits.

Taking the time to reflect on a move to the inner harbour
Looking at the ocean never gets old. Not a surprise either but a revelation that no matter what may happen in life, love, career, health I will always be able to say I followed my dream to literally live by the ocean.
