For Christi and Fernando Ortiz, living close to God — what they now often refer to as the divine, a higher reality or the mystery — continues to draw them. And this pull inspired them to open the retreat center so others can experience their own communions with the sacred.

Harmony Woods Retreat Center will host “A Taste of Harmony Woods Open House” this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The event will include several spiritually-themed indoor and outdoor offerings for individuals and families.

When one opens the door and steps into Harmony Woods Retreat Center these words greet guests: “Please remove your shoes for the place in which you stand is holy ground.” Christi Ortiz, and her husband, Fernando, who built this yurt on their own property during COVID restrictions, hope all who enter their now one-year-old retreat center feel this sense of sacred with them.
