Awakening 2027

This year’s crush campaign: funding the new year!

The Vining Center invites you—one time a year—to support our unique vision: Helping people find their way home from institutionalized (even abusive) Christianity to the contemplative heart of Jesus. The Red Words specifically, that call us away from Empire toward nonviolence and the welcome inclusion of all in the family of God. We do this primarily through retreats, writing, and the online Soularium community.
