 INSIDE & OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE
UPDATED AUGUST 30, 2007

An American Four-Square at 2518 South Boulevard welcomes all for workshops and retreats.  This eco-friendly house offers three bedrooms, two with single beds, one on the second floor, and one on the first next to a full bath; the third, on the second floor, has a double bed.  Up a spiral stairway from the reading room is an attic chapel.  Art and crafts supplies are available; guitar, keyboard and folk instruments just wait to be played! The gathering area on the first floor is open to the kitchen while nearby a sun room provides a lovely place to gaze out at a beautiful garden in every season.  From the sun room a Cretan labyrinth calls out to be walked.  A favorite spot is the main staircase whose tall window is filled with  a view of the reflecting pond full of goldfish and aquatic plants nestled close to a rustic hermitage.  Viewed from the same window is the 19th c. Victorian where Sr. Concepcion Gonzalez and Sr. Veronica Blake live, offer spiritual accompaniment, host small group meetings and tend to a wonderful lending library, a couple cats and the rest of the activities of daily life.  

Full Circle Staff

Sr. Concepcion Gonzalez and Sr. Veronica Blake, Sisters of Mary Reparatrix, are happy to consider requests for presentations at Full Circle and in other locations. 

As Sisters of Mary Reparatrix, we are called to help repair the wounds of the Earth and Earth community with compassion. Christian ecospirituality  helps sustain us as we collaborate with others who want to live peaceably in sustainable ways.  In an urban setting, we try to live close to the land with attitudes of respect and wonder at the beauty of this bioregion.

It is from this perspective that we respond to invitations to facilitate workshops, days of prayer and opportunities for dialogue.
