Children, Families, Communities

We offer workshops and classes on many themes, and can customize our trainings for your family or organization.

All of our trainings explore personal and professional growth on multiple levels, and include how to insert conscious choice into habitual patterns.

Each year on the second weekend in December we offer a two-day workshop on the theme of Grace. We began this tradition in 2002 and it is now part of a week-long event. The workshop is preceded by shorter classes and Presence in Healing sessions, providing the opportunity for people to create their own intensive experience if they so desire.

In 2017 we held our first Summer Grace retreat and this has also become an annual event.

The 7 Clairs - Getting Into the Intuitive Miracle Zone with Christina Heiniger and The Lotus Crew

November 12, 2026, 3:00-4:30 ET/1:00-2:30 MT/12:00-1:30 PT

In this class we will develop our intuition by learning about and tuning into the 7 clair senses, and finding our areas of intuitive and physic strength. Guided meditation will aid us in discovering for ourselves how we can tune into the Miracle Zone using our preferred clairs.

The "clairs" are a set of extrasensory perception (ESP) or intuitive senses that means "clear" in English. They allow people to receive information beyond the standard five physical senses.

Fee: $35/ $31.50 for CFC members

Listening Circle: Let's Talk Peace with Ellen Pierce Graves

November 12, 2026, 5:30-7:00 ET/ 3:30-5:00 MT/ 2:30-4:00 PT

What is the difference between keeping the peace and peacemaking?

Many of us have learned to maintain harmony by avoiding conflict, accommodating others, or setting aside our own needs. But is the absence of conflict the same as peace?

In this contemplative listening circle, we will explore the subtle but powerful distinction between peacekeeping and peacemaking. Together, we will reflect on how we navigate tension in our relationships, communities, within ourselves, and as a world.

This practice forms a liminal space through which we intend to create a miracle of peace generation.

Through thoughtful questions, shared reflection, and compassionate listening, we will consider what it means to move beyond simply preserving harmony toward cultivating authentic peace.

Questions for Reflection

When have I confused the absence of conflict with the presence of peace?
What have I sacrificed in the name of keeping the peace?
Can I be a peacemaker while allowing someone else to be uncomfortable or disappointed?
What role do honesty, boundaries, and courage play in creating genuine peace?
Where in my life am I being invited to move from peacekeeping toward peacemaking?
What would peace look like if it included my own needs, feelings, and truth?

This circle is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and explore these questions without needing to arrive at answers.

Participants are welcome to share from their own experience or simply listen. Our intention is not to fix, advise, or debate, but to create a compassionate space where understanding and authentic connection can emerge.

Come as you are. Your presence is enough. Children welcome.

Staying True to Ourselves

How do we walk our path during this time of constant change? Even when we have a clear sense of who we are the world keeps changing, creating doubt as to our next steps.

Our beliefs, actions and habits help define who we are as we learn how to be present with ourselves. Each time we interact with the world we integrate new information and have the opportunity to update our perspective.

Choosing Life Path

What am I supposed to do? What should I do next? What are my gifts? How can I best use them? The need for recognizing life purpose is one of the deepest drivers of well-being. And yet understanding and refining our actions to fulfill this purpose can feel elusive.

Choosing our every-day expression is guided by our emotions in an incredibly wide open, abundant and diverse environment that is our World. By learning how to use our body's guidance system to steer our actions, we create our life purpose.
