Offer a Program at the Christine Center
Two Pathways: partner with us or bring your own group
Since 1980, The Christine Center has offered a woodland sanctuary where programs and private groups gather to practice, reflect, learn, and grow. Rooted in the Franciscan tradition, our values are contemplation, hospitality, compassion, simplicity, transformation, and care for our Earth Community.
We welcome people of all faiths, spiritual paths, and thosw with no formal tradition. We honor the many ways people seek meaning and depth, and we hold space where sincere exploration can unfold with respect and openness.
We attend carefully to lodging, meals, and meeting space so leaders can focus on the integrity of their work and the experience of their participants. Our role is to offer a steady, welcoming presence and a peaceful environment where meaningful work can take root and flourish.
