Christos Center sees spike in spiritual director numbers
Riding the gales of September Sailboarding enthusiasts take advantage of the strong, brisk wind gusts that arrived on White Bear Lake along with the month of September. Because of the strong and unpredictable wind gusts, some kitesurfers switched to sailboards to better manage the conditions.
BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR
In a world full of uncertainty where stress and anxiety levels seem to climb higher and higher every day, north metro residents who wish to deepen their spirituality may fi nd a hidden gem. Christos Center for Spiritual Formation has been located off Holly Drive in Lino Lakes since 1990, but many people pass by on Birch Street, completely unaware it is there. The 51-acre site consists of a perfect blend of woods, wetlands and wildlife. Robin Fraser, Tending the Holy coordinator, described the property as a “little sanctuary” where visitors will fi nd places to walk, sit and even get lost in a labyrinth. “It’s a place where people can come and be outside and not worry about everything else that is going on,” said LaDonna Olson, spiritual director and director of administrative services. “It is open and available to anyone who wants a quiet place to get away and connect with nature.” PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS
