Welcome to the Koinonia of Vermont website!
Koinonia of Vermont is a center for the development of spirituality, wellness, and Christian Community established in 1976 by Pastor Paul and Dorothy Alberti.
Our special emphasis, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is to encourage persons to accept the responsibility for the gift of life and to stretch to a greater measure of wellness. Through consultation, workshops and/or retreats, persons are challenged and equipped to promote healing, wholeness, and the benefits of living in a caring community.
"Koinonia" is a New Testament word meaning "fellowship"; a place of hospitality... a process for becoming... a time apart to grow, reflect, be quiet... it is friendship. The fish and cross are symbolic of Jesus Christ in whom Koinonia of Vermont is centered.
Mark your calendars for our upcoming Peace events! Both events include a light supper and will be held at the Blue Gentian Lodge, Londonderry. Cost: $15. For more information contact Lisa at 802-824-5908 or email: BlueGentian@comcast.net
May 14, 2012, 6pm-9pm: GROWING A PEACE. How do we as individuals and in our communities "grow a peace"? This is more than a focus on anti-war activity and witness. In every community there is a need to facilitate opportunities for discussion of pertinent, everyday issues that may cause division with the hope and expectation to discover models of healing and wellness. Leader: Deborah Dickinson (nurse practitioner)
May 21, 2012, 6pm-9pm: RESTORING VERMONT LIVES. Our leaders will describe what their respective programs do to help women to achieve the necessary skills for life and employment and to become full participants in society and how we, as individuals, can support and help these programs. Leaders: Pixie Loomis (Executive Director, Vermont Adult Learning) and Tiffany Bluemle (Executive Director, Vermont Works for Women)
