The Christine Center

The Christine Center The Christine Center is a spirituality center offering solo and group retreats in a wooded sanctuary. The Christine Center was established in the lineage of St.
(1)

Francis and St. Clare of Assisi, and embraces persons of all spiritual paths. Organizations, individuals, groups, teachers, and students are invited to share the energy of this sacred space. The Center offers lodging and meals for individual retreats, group retreats, seminars and sabbatical stays. You’re also welcome to have your day meeting or overnight gathering of your small faith community, hospital, church, educational or management group at the Center. Situated in a tranquil forest setting with guest house, hermitages (small cabins), and camping on 125 secluded acres, the Christine Center has served the spiritual needs of thousands of people from all over the world for almost thirty years. You’re invited to partake of its silence and beauty, and to participate in its opportunities for personal spiritual deepening and global transformation. Spiritual seekers are drawn to The Christine Center by the activities of a vibrant community, prayer, contemplation and work. The Center offers retreats on spirituality, transformational change and inner development. It hosts a diverse and wide range of workshops and retreat programs. As a Catholic retreat center, it welcomes opportunities to engage in dialogue with teachers and seekers of many spiritual paths. The Center also offers services such as spiritual guidance, bodywork, and recreational activities which can supplement your reflection and relaxation. A supportive, natural environment provides you with the ambience for a contemplative practice, creativity, or nurturing the Spirit within. Many come to explore inner awakening, holistic living and honesty in relationships. Out of this energy the Christine Center offers its signature program “Spiritual Deepening for Global Transformation.”

The images speak. The labyrinth winds. The archetypes stir. Begin 2026 creating a path that helps you remember who you are✨

January 2–4, Lisa Mer leads A Soulful New Year’s Retreat with The Four-Fold Way, SoulCollage® and the Labyrinth at the Christine Center.

You’ll create SoulCollage® cards, explore archetypal truths within, experience the labyrinth, and gently reimagine the year ahead in a supportive, contemplative community.

There are still spaces left! Is one of them yours?💛

Among the many ways we remember Eric and his contributions to the Christine Center, Bucky, our resident kitty, is a living reminder of his gentle, steady presence. Eric’s imprint on this land, this community, and our hearts is forever part of who we are.

Bucky is settling beautifully into his new cabin home—Christmas blanket, new toys, and plenty of love included.❤️🐾

We carry you with us, Eric. You are deeply missed and lovingly remembered.💙
