Bookstore and Gift Shop

The Word Bookstore is nestled in the lobby of the Colombiere Center. It is a wonderful place to shop for a unique gift or to order difficult-to-find books that are either from small presses or out of print. We invite guests to browse through our store, which is open to guests and the public from 9:00am - 3:00pm. (Closed Sunday & Monday)

Selections range from gift items such as CD's, candles, angels, cassettes, greeting cards, and children's books. Whether you are involved in self help, a church group, or are just interested in personal growth, you will find a wide variety of personal discovery books and spiritual literature perfect for study. We also carry many Bible editions and religious articles (rosaries, art work, etc.) Telephone, mail orders and personal visits are always welcome. We will gladly special order items for you. VISA/MC accepted.

Labyrinth

Colombiere Center can offer your group a Labyrinth experience. Walking a Labyrinth is a right brain activity (creative, intuitive, imaginative), and can induce or enhance a contemplative or meditative state of mind.  It is a tool which canclear the mind, calm our anxieties during periods of transition and stress, guide healing, deepen self knowledge, enhance creativity, allow for reconciliation, restore feelings of belonging to a community, and lead to personal and spiritual growth.  For many walkers the labyrinth becomes a metaphor for the journey of life: although full of twists and turns, each of us is on a single path through his or her life and yet each person's journey is a separate and distinct qualitative experience.  In walking labyrinths, modern seekers are emulating and recapturing the pilgrimage tradition of many ancient faiths.
