At the Heartland Center
Please note the following:
We're changing to meet the needs of the times!
We are no longer sending out a printed program brochure.
We will begin using e-mail program brochures, effective August 1, 2005.
While there were some advantages to using print media, we believe there are several good reasons to make the change now. It will give us more flexibility in program planning, and enable us to notify you of programs as they develop. In the long run, it will also help to save a few advertising dollars, and that's an important consideration as well.
We would never have considered making this change a few years ago, but it seems that most people have e-mail access now, which is also a plus. Newspaper articles, bulletin announcements and other publicity efforts will continue, as before.
If you would like to receive our free, monthly e-mail newsletter, just go to http://heartlandspirituality.org/ and you'll see the form to submit your e-mail address to us.
If at any time you'd like to stop receiving publicity, you will be able to easily unsubscribe.

A directed retreat offers the same as above plus an opportunity to meet with a Spiritual Director. The fee is an additional $35 per session.
