The Eco-Spirituality Center provides opportunities to explore, discover, experience and celebrate what it means to be a part of the Earth community in new and deeper ways.

The focus is on:

• Healing relationships between God, humanity and Creation
  
• A recognition of the sacredness of all that is
  
• Our rootedness in the Judeo-Christian tradition as well as respect for the insights of other traditions
  
  

Our goal is to help restore a sense of wholeness and balance in our lives as we grow into a deeper spiritual relationship with the Holy and work to renew the face of the Earth. A list (and links to full descriptions) of our upcoming programs is provided below.

Facilities include walking trails, a resource center containing books, audio and video tapes related to environmental spirituality and a meeting room dedicated to eco-spiritualty programs. Ginny Jones, CSJ, is director of the Eco-Spirituality Center.
