Sophia’s Circle is our core team of volunteers who each staff the front desk weekly and are responsible for hospitality at the Center. They also help with housekeeping. Hospitality is really important at the Center! And how our space looks says a lot! Remember the first time you came, how nice it was to have a friendly welcome, and how good it felt to be in a beautiful, clean space? The circle meets monthly (lunch provided) to reflect on the work, share ideas, come up with guidelines for Sophia Circle, and provide some training. They go on retreat or field trips together during the year. If you want to commit to being part of this team, and participate in the Sophia Circle meetings, speak with Sonia.
