The Hildegard Soul-Studio for Creative Art and Ritual is always open!
Whether enjoying a Private Retreat at the Center or participating in another organized program, this wonderful “no judgement” space is available to you to express your creativity, or just to “play.” Unless there’s an organized retreat happening in the studio, it’s open at all hours. There is a nominal fee for materials. You are invited. Check out the new Programs being offered!
The Christine Center Scholarship Fund is available from donations specified for this purpose. Our hope is that all who seek a spiritual deepening experience will have the opportunity to participate with us.
Unless otherwise noted, programs begin at 7 pm CST and end at noon.
Please note that the Christine Center does not offer either health care or psychotherapy. We offer opportunities for spiritual deepening and exploration, as well as personal restoration and peace.
