The Order Of The Christ Sophia Inc

The Order of Christ Sophia has the earmarks of a group that exerts undue influence to recruit members. They target young college age girls and make no hesitation to admit ...especially Mother Clare...that "family" is not of importance? Why? Because no parent, family or friend would condone the practices and twisted teachings of this group. The ratings below are also a scam and created by members to legitimize this group. They even do damage control by writing a post on their sites on "what is a cult". Hmmm? Have you been called a cult? why might that be. Of course, their explanation differs quite a bit from that of experts in the field like Margaret Singe and Dr. Robert Lifton. Look up their red flags and the breadcrumbs will lead to Father Peter, Mother Clare , The Spirit of Light Center, the Ruach Center and all of the little splinter groups they have created to rapture the minds and wallets of their followers. Humanitarian? Christian? I don't think so.

In 2011, the Order of Christ Sophia asked for donations earmarked to build a rooftop garden. THOUSANDS of dollars were given towards this. After it was built, the leadership got caught by the city for doing so without a permit. It took additional money to tear down the rooftop structure and legally buy permits. The Order of Christ Sophia never re-built the rooftop structure and instead said they would sell building materials to recoup costs. They kept all monies, NEVER returning funds to donors who had earmarked donations specifically for that structure to be built. It was blatantly dishonest and fraudulent.

In May, 2010, I inappropriately posted a review/comment concerning the OCS on this site. I am sincerely sorry for this posting and for saying what I did. If I could go back in time and undo what I wrote, I would. My daughter is safe and happy, and my words offended her deeply. For this, I am truly sorry. I was wrong to say what I did and regret doing so with all my heart.

I have attended several retreats with my non-profit organization at the Sophia Peace Center in Dolores, CO. It is a beautiful location. The staff and accommodations are amazing. The food is really good too. They easily and happily catered to some specific dietary needs with delicious healthy recipes. They definitely go out of their way to make sure that your retreat experience is the best it can be.

I have attended several retreats at the Sophia Peace Center, and they have been wonderful experiences. The staff definitely contributed to this by generating an attitude of positivity, generosity & attentiveness. I got the feeling that they really believed in the power of peace to change the world and demonstrated this in their actions. I also really appreciate their support of nonprofits who are working to make the world a better place! The surroundings are beautiful and awe-inspiring. Food is delicious & healthy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I have had a number of experiences at the Sophia Peace Center (SPC) namely, last year, as a volunteer at the Colorado Peace Ride, a bicycle tour which rode through Dolores and was hosted at the SPC. The hosts there are generous, considerate and detail oriented. The SPC cares about each individual having a peaceful experience that is fulfilling, both individually and globally ~ it is rightly named as a Peace Center ~ as every one there upholds the integrity and consciousness one .

This retreat center is so beautiful and each time I go there (a couple times a year for retreats with my church), I am amazed at how clean the air is and how big the sky is, and how friendly and welcoming the staff is (also FANTASTIC food, with dietary restrictions always accommodated). I recommend this place highly!

Not only is the location, surroundings and views amazing, so are the staff and accommodations. The landscape around the property is serene and peaceful. All of the food was delicious. I appreciated the efforts and technology in place that made the facility more sustainable (water saving showers, toilets, and signage). The retreat center is infused with peace and love that will feed and fill you.

The people who run the Sophia Peace Center absolutely glow with peace and love. They have a novel idea: helping other non-profits who work for peace! I have attended spiritual retreats here, growing closer in my connection to God, while knowing that I'm also supporting other non-profit organizations who are working for peace in the world.

I have attended several retreats at the Sophia Peace Center. The lodgings and food are excellent, and the surroundings are awe inspiring. But most importantly, the staff is kind, helpful and loving; dedicated in their service to all who stay there. I will return again and again.
