 Sophia Learning Center is dedicated to the understanding of the human and natural world as one sacred community. We attempt to find ways to go into the future acting on this belief. We invite you to come and take part in our programs. 

As you might know...

Sophia Learning Center conducts many programs for children and adults connecting them to new understandings and connections with Earth and with a core belief that the human and natural world are one sacred community. Sister Jeanne works with teachers Sister Joyce Hummel and Christine Keller and with Tom Stock, a naturalist. Our Director of Marketing and Development, Elizabeth Keihm has become a favorite among the children for the organic lunches and special menus she prepares. Together this group creates and executes the children's programs which have been very successful.The Center also does programming for adults.

Earth Day April 22

10:00 am—noon

We live most of our lives in the past or future; rarely in the present

moment. Sister Jeanne will help us to open up to the present

moment in mindfulness and experience the joy and wonder

of that experience. The tools of Sophia Garden that have

worked diligently for us in the past will be given some loving

tender care in preparation for a new season. It will be a morning

of nurturing for all. Bring lunch and eat in the serenity of

the Garden.

A Sense of Wonder April 26

Reserved Seats $30 4:00 pm—7:00 pm
