Christine is not only gifted at running groups on exploring and applying creativity ...but she is a wonderful singer-songwriter celebrity traveling here from North Carolina. Christine, is also funny, honest, spiritual in the everyday sense and very reality-based. Come join other creative women as we explore ideas of intent, inspiration, motivation, action, and gratitude, as well as moving through doubt, fear and other obstacles that we each face on the paths of our dreams. Christine will guide us as we create a "Vision Board," a fun and visual way to map out our next steps while daring to "dream big." Both practical and spiritual, the tools Christine uses are invaluable to helping participants begin living their "Great Big Dream". The day will end with a private mini-concert with Christine. This day long event will take place in Hopkinton on July 14th to explore issues of our own creativity and to find ways put them to work out in the world. We have about 10 more openings so please respond if you might be interested in reserving a spot as soon as possible. The fee for the entire day is $60 and there is also an option of ordering a $10 lunch provided by Sauce on Main Café that sounds delicious!!

July 22 Bicycles, motorcycles, and tricycles are just some of the modes of transportation that will receive a special blessing at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at 61 Wood Street (Rte 135) in Hopkinton at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 22. All are invited to come and have their bikes blessed. Those interested are also welcome to stay for the Holy Eucharist celebration following the blessing. “The idea for this came from an article I read about a blessing of motorcycles in the Midwest,” said Father Mike Billingsley of St. Paul’s. “I suggested that St. Paul’s do something similar, and when someone asked what kinds of bikes would be blessed, it got the wheels turning, so to speak, and we decided to open this up to all types of bikes.”
