The Christine Center was blessed this weekend with a group of 9 talented volunteers who joined us in the gardens around the Center. The Center’s hermitages and main building have been going through a series of upgrades and renovations over the past 9 months. However, with Co-vid and several Center closures over the past year, the gardens have not been attended to for quite a while. 

A plan was presented to the volunteers which, at first, appeared daunting. Gradually each gardener selected a spot to begin and another 1-2 joined. Add conversation, laughter, and the bonding which ensued, and we were on our way to lovingly restoring several of the garden areas. Of course, there are still many areas that need attention. More weekends will soon be planned. If you are interested in joining our evolving garden artist group, please email me at k.yosko@christinecenter.org.

Again, we express our gratitude to our volunteers for not only their time and loving attention, but for the blessings their efforts integrated into the soil of this special sanctuary we call The Christine Center.

Quantum Connecting: Zoom as Spiritual Practice

with Sr. Gabriele Uhlein

Offered monthly on Saturday mornings, 10:00am to 11:30am

In this interactive, experiential workshop, participants will learn how anger, fear, and judgment can be clarifying emotions, pointing us to what we most long for. We will learn how meeting our motivations with deep compassion can help us move from those difficult emotions to the love which leads to more effective action.
