The Christine Center is a special place run by special people. It's so welcoming to all beliefs and practices and accommodating as well as natural and private. The food is thoughtful and delicious and the spaces are well kept and serve many needs. I have stayed in the lodge rooms for convenience and look forward to experiencing the remoteness of a Hermitage on my next stay.I have attended and hosted retreats here and always recommend them to friends and students who inquire about a retreat spot in our area.

The Christine Center is a wonderful place to renew and refresh one's spiritual journey through life. Beautiful surroundings, lovingly maintained by all who call this spot home. Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere at the Christine Center, one can sense it from the moment you walk in the door...great food, fine folks!

I love it here. This is my 4th visit for a yoga retreat and everything here is perfect, down to the cooking and the silence in the woods. It feels like home away from home.

I went for a self love retreat with Mourning Dove and Jenna. I stayed in a rustic little cabin in the woods with a wood stove and a cute screened in front porch. It was exactly what I was hoping for.The self love retreat was AMAZING!!!These ladies really know how to make someone feel welcomed and cared about. I will definitely keep track of them and attend again in the future. 5 stars!!!!

If you want to go to a beautiful place and enjoy it the most delicious food you've ever had, This is the Place. The people who run this center are the most kind, generous and lovely people. The grounds are beautiful and there is a very peaceful feeling there. 100% recommend.

It is such a peaceful place. The food is nutritious except for all the homemade cookies I ate :) The people are really nice and work hard to make everyone comfortable so that you can take a break from your hectic life. It made a big difference for me last year which was extremely difficult. I enjoyed the library and star gazing as well as the program I chose. I am so thankful I found the Christine Center and hope to go back every year.

I just attended my first retreat at The Christine Center. The accommodations, facility, meals, and people were truly amazing! I have never been to such a caring environment for a gathering. Our cabin was very nice (recently renovated) with an unmarred view of the forest. I will definitely be back!

The atmosphere of mindfulness, meditation, meals, hospitality, concern and caring makes each visit a restful, healing, and restorative experience. It's also a wonderful place to organize courses and retreats!

I went to see the spring art show and paint in the art studio, work on a writing project, and sleep. I had a warm, sunny cabin with a kitchen, shower, and bathroom. Hiking through the woods was splendid - ferns were just opening up, birds everywhere, deer looking around, woodpeckers making noise on the trees, and several sunny days. I stayed a couple extra days - 5 this time. It was tough to leave but I'll be back later this year.

I shared the retreat experience “All Here Dwell Free” guided by Tracy Chipman this past weekend with my dear friend. I am without words to describe what an incredible journey was had by all who attended this amazing retreat. Emotional, awakening, healing. Such wonderful women

The Christine Center is an oasis of love grounded in the Franciscan tradition - there is truly no other place quite like it. It begins with the Beloved Sisters, then extends throughout the Devoted Board, Faithful Staff and all those who come to share their Wisdom and enjoy Community in a beautiful, sacred setting.

The CC is an absolute treasure. All are welcome no matter what your belief system. The varied programs offer something for everyone, or you can go on a personal retreat with no agenda other than living in harmony with nature and tranquility. Tucked within a wooded wetland far from the hustle and bustle of any city, the CC offers a supportive setting where you can escape from your electronic devices and reconnect with self, nature, and the simplicity of quietness.
