Pilgrimage can be wrapped in prayer or by simply being aware of the path before you. Pilgrimage takes us out of the comfort of home and creates space to listen deeply to the Spirit. The Journey Center depends on donors like you that desire to see the vision and mission fulfilled. We exist to offer a Christ-centered haven for spiritual exploration and reflection; where all can encounter God, be transformed, and express radical love to the world.
During the pandemic we had said goodbye to our building as we shifted to online offerings . Those offerings thrived and grew over this past year. Then a wonderful miracle occurred when someone that loves the Journey Center bought the building and offered renting it to us in a modified way. There have been some renovations within the main room like a new kitchen and a new roof. We are now moved back into the building and beginning to meet as the county guidelines allow.
Through the pandemic, there has been a need and thirst to connect with others in the presence of God. We continued to host contemplative prayer gatherings, Enneagram, Art journaling, and poetry reading groups through Zoom. The Spirit is not confined to a physical space and it has been a beautiful experience to feel connected and held in the midst of these uncertain times. As things have opened up, we’ve offered God in Nature hikes and soon, in-person gatherings. The Journey Center continues to be a safe haven where everyone belongs and is invited to encounter the Sacred wherever they are on their journey.
Thank you for your love and generosity as we seek to listen and respond to the Spirit’s invitation to serve Sonoma County and beyond! Your support makes this possible and we are so grateful for you being a part of this!
