Full Circle at 2518 South Boulevard is a welcoming place for workshops and
retreats. This eco-friendly house offers three bedrooms, two with single
beds, one on the first floor next to a full bath and one on the second
floor; the third bedroom on the second floor has a double bed. There is
also a full bathroom on that floor. Up a spiral stairway from the reading
room is the attic chapel. Art and crafts supplies are available; guitar,
keyboard and folk instruments wait to be played! The gathering area on the
first floor opens to the kitchen while nearby a sun room provides a lovely
place to gaze out at a garden beautiful in every season. From the sun room
a labyrinth calls out to be walked. A favorite spot is the main staircase
whose tall window is filled with a view of a 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 Sisters Concepcion
Gonzalez and Veronica Blake offer spiritual accompaniment, host small group
meetings and tend to a lending library, cats and all the ordinary
activities of daily life.
 
Sisters of Mary
Reparatrix: Full Circle Staff
Sisters
of Mary Reparatrix, an international Roman Catholic congregation of women religious, seek
to live as followers of Jesus Christ with passion, audacity, zeal and creativity in a broken world
with Mary, mother of Jesus, as guiding companion. We try to live
in reparative ways that promote peace, justice and respect for creation in
the Americas, Africa and Europe. Sisters Veronica and Concepcion
participate in this mission through the services offered at Full Circle. In
collaboration with others, we honor and celebrate God's evolving
Universe as we heighten awareness about Earth and its
ecosystems and the ways in which humans can live
peaceably and sustainably with compassion and hope within Earth’s interconnected
community of life.
