A peaceful, joyful contemplative event to begin the Advent season! The Taize service fed my soul and the wonderful St. Francis Springs kitchen staff fed our physical bodies as well with a delicious meal afterwards!

St. Francis Springs is my go-to place whenever I need to step out of the noise and busyness of life and find a place for solitude. The staff is amazing, the meals are delicious and the quiet beauty of nature that surrounds you is soul-nourishing.

This was a single-day event for me. It was well-done, length of time of the session was good, excellent speaker/moderator. The quiet atmosphere at St. Francis Springs was perfect for a World Peace Day event.
