Have you ever found an old rosary tucked away in a drawer—and felt something stir? 🌹✨

Join Karrie Kirchner at Wisdom House for The Way of the Rose, a one-day circle inspired by the book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary.
No need to be Catholic or even religious—just bring your wonder, your questions, your stories… and maybe those beads you’ve been holding onto.

Let’s sit together, listen deeply, and explore what still calls us from within the ancient rhythm of the rosary.
