Mary of the Angels Chapel
Mary of Angels Chapel is in the round with a soaring pine ceiling and with beautiful stained-glass windows designed by Eau Claire, WI artist Laurie Biezi. The chapel holds our recently donated complete set of crystal singing bowls.
Meditation Hall
If the exquisite round hall is not being used, you are welcome to enjoy this beautiful space to meditate, practice yoga, or just relax.
Bela Maroti Library
Our library is a first-rate collection of a wide-range of spirituality titles. There are two computer stations with printers, plus wifi. A comfortable, quiet, contemplative space for reflection with lots of morning sun.
Spirit Jewel Bookstore and Gifts
It’s small but mighty. We stock a wide range of subjects on spirituality.
In addition, we carry beautiful handmade bookmarks, original art work, handmade jewelry, and contemplative items, as well as a choice of journals and notebooks, colored pencils, incense, and hand-crafted soaps.
Spirit Jewel “bookstore” is located along the corridor on the way to the library and chapel. A comfortable chair and lighting allow for “browse and sit” sessions.
Fresh “reads” arrive every week or so, and our free books are replenished monthly.
Spirit Jewel offer books on Christian mystics, contemporary Buddhism, contemporary spirituality, Jungian dreams, science/eco-spirituality, First Nations, Yoga/body awareness, St. Hildegard of Bingen, writing as spiritual practice, mandala/intuitive arts, and many other topics and 500 or so titles, and a children’s section for books to enjoy with and to inspire the little ones in your life.
Meditation Trails
The Center offers marked trails for hiking briskly or meditation, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. One stretch of our trail is now a board-walk for walking in wet weather.
Canticle Circle
By the small pond just off the trail, the Canticle Meditation Circle is a celebration of the Canticle of the Creatures that summarizes the Franciscan heritage of the Christine Center where all are welcomed as Divine Guest. Read More
