May 3 - 5, 2013
The Central Regional Council invites you to Viroqua for the annual gathering of Group, Branch and Initiative leaders in the Central Region as we continue to weave the vessel for the Being Anthroposophia through our c0-working with one another. We are grateful to the local members of the Anthroposophical Group and the Pleasant Ridge Waldorf School for hosting us in their community. We will be surrounded by the beautiful ridges and valleys of the "driftless" area of southwestern Wisconsin where the land remained free from glacial activity. As many of you know, we are dedicated to meeting in different parts of the Central Region in order to more fully experience the geographical context of our work and allow the land to speak to us.

The Christian Community is a worldwide movement for religious renewal that seeks to open the path to the living, healing presence of Christ in the age of the free individual. This life is at work most potently in its renewed Seven Sacraments, where the thoughtful, heartfelt devotion of the congregation and the words and gestures of the celebrating priest work together to form the vessel that can receive the grace of God.
