Hello. My name is Tricia and I am the Director of the Spiritworks Center. For years I’ve wanted to do something with my life that enriches me and also makes a powerful difference in the lives of so many others. After many detours (on which I’ll fill you in later) I am finally following my heart’s desire. What is this dream? To create time where I– and other like-minded souls –can pay attention to our own physical and spiritual well-being. I seek to create a space where I can invite my friends to take time out from their hectic lives to indulge themselves in the discipline of self-care and to learn how to live in healthy stress-relieving ways.
New Beginnings
Now in our humble beginnings, we are ready to invite you to join us; to pay new attention to your own physical and spiritual health so that you can return to your job or schooling or family a better person. Only when you are well can you fully impact your community-at-large and your family and friends in whole-some, helpful ways. We invite you to join us just as you are and indulge yourself in the the benefits of God-care and self-care. This means a new beginning as we live with healthy, holy habits and practices in order to live a full life. Healthy living in our bodies, minds, and relationships is a basic, yet powerful tool for transformation, first of ourselves, and then of our communities and the world.
