What is The Blessed Foundation

Founded in 2000 by John and Dee Curci, The Blessed Foundation is dedicated to the ministry of body, mind and spirit of all persons, regardless of spiritual or religious orientation, by providing a safe, sacred place for retreat, reflection, education and spiritual growth.
 
It is our deepest desire and intent to hold sacred the lives of all who come to bless this space. We sponsor programs that promote healing of body, mind and spirit.  
No appointment is necessary to visit the grounds and walk the labyrinths, which are available daily from sunrise to sunset.
The retreat center, Kairos, is available by reservation, for small group classes, workshops, and private retreats from May through September. 
 
The Blessed Foundation was established as a public charity and organized under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Donations are tax deductible.  The foundation commits to use 100% of donations to help others through the work of the foundation.  No salaries are ever paid.
  
-Dee Curci
   

 

The Blessed Foundation's mission and ministry is founded on the Biblical Text

 Matt. 25: 35-40

 

"For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
A stranger and you welcomed me,
Naked and you clothed me,
Ill and you cared for me,
In prison and you visited me.

Amen I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least,...you did for me."


The Blessed Foundation's name is inspired by The Beatitudes:
Matt. 5: 3-11

 “Blessed Are You”

A SACRED CONTEMPLATIVE SPACE

 

The Blessed Foundation is a spiritual sanctuary located on twenty-one beautifully wooded acres.  It is a place for personal reflection, contemplation, prayer and retreat. A newly constructed retreat house, Kairos, is available for group or personal use.

Come walk the two labyrinths, visit the fruit orchard, or stroll among the many intertwining nature trails. A newly constructed retreat house, Kairos, is available for group or personal use.
"Kairos" a threshold for transformation
"KAIROS" RETREAT CENTER
Available May thru September 
 
Kairos - A Greek word that means "God's Time".  It is liminal space where we stand in the threshhold of sacred trust, hope and courage.  It is that space where we hold the tension of the opposites and cooperate with Divine Grace that supports and sanctifies our transformation and transitions.
 

Kairos Retreat Center is a sacred space dedicated to quiet, prayer, contemplation and retreat.  At Kairos, we invite you to take off your watch (chronos), turn off the cell phone, and enter into the Timelessness of Divine Spirit.  Kairos is available for small group classes, workshops, and private retreats. The Retreat house is available from May to September. Call to reserve time and for more detailed information. Donations are accepted for the use of Kairos.

 

A SPIRITUAL MINISTRY

Both the grounds and the retreat house are available for holding classes, workshops and retreats relating to the ministry of body, mind and spirit.  Fruit from the orchard is harvested in the fall and distributed to regional hunger centers.
