Step into the heart of Franciscan values, grounded in a spiritual journey to Assisi and the beautiful Umbrian countryside. This journey holds special meaning as we mark 45 years of contemplative practice at the Christine Center, founded and sustained on the values of St. Francis.

During this 11-day experience, we will stay at the peaceful Villa Pieve, a retreat center near the medieval town of Corciano. Each site we visit carries the legacy of his life and teachings, offering opportunities for spiritual growth and heartfelt connection to the values inspired by his life and teachings. The inclusive spirit of the Christine Center will walk with us, welcoming all practices and traditions.

Journey with us on this sacred path and celebrate our shared heritage. Together, we will honor the stories that shaped St. Francis’ life, discover the gentle power of Franciscan spirituality, and return home with a deeper experience of compassion and peace, rooted in Franciscan values and the sustaining movement he began and which continues today.

Immerse yourself in the peace and inspiration of Franciscan heritage.

Together, we’ll honor the legacy of the Christine Center and deepen our shared commitment to spiritual growth and connection.
