You will find this beautiful church in the heart of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its Gothic Revival architecture is quite impressive. Check out this wonderful cathedral and attend mass on Sunday. Quick history note: Pope John II visited the cathedral back in 1984 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica!

The Center offers educational programs, a sense of community and welcoming approach to anyone curious enough to visit. Many of the people working here are volunteers with a lifestyle to genuinely parallel with the Center's offerings. Courses, workshops, lectures and retreats on different elements of Buddhism and spirituality are offered, and its always approached with an open mind-- there is no force-feeding of beliefs here. East meets West-- our culture continues to integrate traditional Eastern techniques into the daily routine. Shambala is simply a platform to further delve into such curiosities. Besides a common ground for Halifax's Buddhist community, the center welcomes all walks of life. Its very open minded. Try the free meditation class on Wednesday. Or check out their website for upcoming seminars and workshops. The Shambhala Center allows for new explorations and an open platform for spiritual inquires.

The Dal Multifaith Centre is a great resource for Dalhousie and Halifax. Where else will students…read more(or anyone) find a place that lists all the various religious organizations in Halifax? For students, there are also chaplains of a variety of backgrounds to help them adjust to their new university life or deal with anything for which they need help. The Centre also hosts a variety of meetings and sponsors a variety of lectures throughout the year. Rumour has it that the facility will also see some major renovations over the coming year. My only desire would be the Centre promoted itself more. I've spoken to many students who don't even know it exists.

This is a vast mosque with an active community. Beautiful architecture. There are three levels. The…read morehighest level is the prayer area. It can fit up to 500-750 people. The second level has the entrance, library, and computer lab for the school that is just across the mosque. The third level is the gym, which hosts many events and activities for children and others. This certainly is a great place to ponder about nature. I would totally recommend praying or taking part in any event with this community. Totally worth it.

Like my predecessors (yelp reviewers), I have not visited this church on a Sunday morning in my…read morenicest slacks - however, I have been in during evenings when the drums are thumping and toes are tapping. This church is located on Barrington Street, facing the historic Old Burying Grounds. Upon entering the front door, the library smell mixed with the pie-in-the-sky ceilings will have you awe struck. Curved bench seating directed at the alter, or alternatively stage, enables tons of great places to cozy in with a great view. You can choose to sit in the balcony area which may give you slight feelings of grandeur. Above the entrance is a great wooden balcony giving you a bird's eye view on the whole place. It's nice to pop up here during the show, just so that you can take and breath and take it all in. There is no bar, so bring a mini-sip or a juice box if you tend to get thirsty. If you're feeling truly retro or maybe just pious, dress in your Sunday's best, complete with bonnet and shin length skirt. St Matthew's Church is a fantastic venue for musicians and spectators alike. It's comfortable, relaxed and of course glorious in its beauty.

I went through a few spiritual bumps a few years ago and I was questioning everything about my life…read moreand sort of felt like I needed to figure things out. Well, church was not my thing, but the service was amazing and the pastors are kind and they have an awesome community presence especially when it comes to helping out the homeless (I'm not sure if they still have the breakfast program on Sunday mornings). I grew up in the Middle East where crazy rock concerts in a church are pretty much frowned upon, so I was super curious about this, since I've heard a lot of good things about this spot. But I finally managed to attend a concert at the church and the acoustics are simply amazing. This a perfect spot for a folk/acoustic concert. My co-worker and I decided to partake in a few shows for the Halifax Pop Explosion and we were both mind-blown but the awesomeness of the spot.

Church! Praise! This is an okay venue for musicians to strut their stuff holy man style. No…read moredisrespect to the religious folk, I'm just speaking from my experiences at this locale which are purely of the entertainment and toe tapping variety. When I last ventured here to see a show, it was winter, and thus a chilly day indeed. Sadly, the space was as brisk as the blustery outdoors and I found my tapping toes turning to baby icicles in no time flat. The church is of course, lovely; however, as a spectator I found it hard to feel completely enthralled due to the seating situation. Pews aren't the most comfortable and these ones are organized in a way that's not the most conducive to viewing music. I mean, fair enough, this is a church and all. But why can't pews be cozy and comfy, perfect for taking in the scriptures and enjoying a Sunday morning mass and perhaps as well a rock show? I'd really appreciate some cushions and a little back support. But I suppose if that's not in the question, I'll take a little heat instead to warm the frigid interior on a cold day. Asking too much, am I? Maybe. But if I'm paying the big bucks to see a show, I'd like a little comfort. Anyway, this church is a-okay if you're going to visit for a show that's a must see. Maybe bring yourself some pillows though, especially if you have a boney bum.

Beautiful inside and out…read more I am not a religious man. I am a spiritual one however. But I wasn't going to St. George's Round Church for either religious or spiritual reasons. I was filming a documentary and this church was part of the history surrounding the story I was covering. From the outside, the church is nice. Not amazing or incredibly large, but nice. It is located very close to the downtown shopping district in Halifax. When you walk inside, you are greeted by one of the largest, open space churches I have seen in the Maritimes. A large part of the Church is in fact Round. In fact it is the only round church left in North America. When we wanted to film inside the church, we were pleasantly surprised by very helpful staff. So the staff at this church are very helpful, which some may not find surprising. However I have been to a few churches in my day and have met some bad apples. So I wasn't sure what I would find coming to this round church. But thankfully I was pleasantly surprised. St. George's Round Church is a classically Anglican church. They have of course many services, but also have outreach programs, music programs, religious education and an incredible program for youth called YouthNet. Their goal is to help and inspire youth who live in the north end of Halifax where the church sits. I had a great time here and although I am not a fan of organized religion, this church did take my breath away. The staff are very friendly and they all do the best they can. It really doesn't get better than St. George's Round Church.
