A great day was enjoyed by all at our
25th Anniversary Celebration!
June 6, 2026
Heartfelt thanks to all that came, joining in this celebration. Thank you for your support and even more especially for your love of Loretto Maryholme Spirituality Centre and its mission.
Many businesses, artists, and other individuals were gracious in their support, donating wonderful gifts for the auction and raffle. We thank them all.
We were blessed to welcome Diana Beresford-Kroeger to Maryholme and to Georgina with grateful hearts!
Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a world-recognized botanist, medical biochemist and author, whose work combines western science and traditional knowledge of the ancient world. As the last child in Ireland to receive a full Druidic education, Dr. Beresford-Kroeger has brought an unusual and ancient holistic attitude to the science of trees, which has led her to many fresh insights into how closely we are tied to one another and to the natural world. Her influential message is to pay rapt attention to trees, because they are the green heart of the living world.
“Forests are our lungs, our medicine, our oxygen and the renewal of our soil. Planting the right trees in the right places, protecting the last virgin forests and working to create new ones is our best means to ensure a future for our children and grandchildren on this burning earth.”
