(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.

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.”

In a world that often pulls us into separation, hurry, and noise, the heart can begin to forget the rhythm of belonging. What would it feel like to be called back into presence, into community building, into the sacred woven through voice, wisdom, and movement? Sometimes connection is not something we think our way into, but something we enter with our whole being.

There's still time to register for this online day retreat.✨

Welcome to the amazing multi-dimensional world of our inner dreamer. Grounded in depth psychology and using images from her own work, Sr. Gabriele Uhlein offers a spiritual pilgrim’s view of the dreaming Soul.

We’ll explore how dreams can serve to both deepen and widen our understanding of Spirit, Life, and the world with which we are entrusted.

Do you dream? Is there a dream you can recall? Who is the dream for? How have dreams and dreaming changed for you over the years? And finally, does Earth dream?

Dreams and Dreaming: Encountering Soul’s Images
April 11, 2026
9:30am to noon; 1:30 to 4:00pm CST

Featuring the recorded teachings of Sr. Gabe

Telling it True Writing Retreat

There comes a time when we want to explore and tell our truths, to deepen our connection to what guides us and expand upon what we think we know – to understand who we are in this moment of time and perhaps even tell our stories of arrival.

Give your true voice space to roam and reawaken your intuitive self through guided written exercises, discussion, and reflection.

April 24-26, 2026

Today on Good Friday, our meditation hall is arranged differently than most weekends. It is set up with the Stations of the Cross, offering guests, staff, and volunteers a space to meditate, pray, or practice in their own way and on their own time with each of the 14 stations marking Jesus’ journey to the cross.

In our Franciscan roots, this prayer is a practice of presence and compassion. The stations guide us through key moments in Jesus’ journey with the cross and offer a way to be present to our own pivotal moments. As you pray or reflect through the stations, you may find your own life mirrored there: the burdens you carry, the help you receive, the falls and the rising, the grief and the grace.

Access our online Stations of the Cross to practice with us:
