Christ Church Cathedral

Mindful places to meditate in Vancouver

You don’t need to travel to Europe to find the serenity that historic cathedrals can provide. Located in the near-exact center of Vancouver’s bustling downtown, Christ Church Cathedral offers an incredibly still atmosphere, with muted lighting streaming through traditional stained glass windows and heritage ceiling beams made from Douglas fir, among other authentic touches. And no matter if you’re spiritual or not, a weekly choral performance on Sundays is at once inspiring and meditative – not to mention mind-bendingly beautiful.
