Deeply Rooted, Faithfully Nurtured:
Celebrating 45 years of Spiritual Deepening
October 31-November 2, 2025
with the Christine Center Community
Join us this fall for a weekend of sacred celebration marking 45 years of contemplative community, transformation, and service to the spiritual journey. From humble Franciscan beginnings to today’s sanctuary for seekers, The Christine Center has welcomed thousands into the quiet mystery of inner growth, creative expression, and heartfelt connection.
We’ll begin Friday evening with a candlelight circle, honoring the ancestors and all who have shaped this place with a blessing under the All Hallows’ Eve sky. Saturday will open as a sacred day of community, woven with song, Dances of Universal Peace, and ceremony. In the art studio, a creative mask-making experience will invite us to explore the many faces of transformation; the masks may be worn later that evening in a circle of celebration. Throughout the weekend, time for silence, land connection, and spiritual practice will invite you deeper into the Center’s living tradition.
