In the Dominican and Franciscan traditions we choose to live simply, to create beauty, to respect Earth and all beings and to share the learned wisdom as co-creators with the Divine for a sustainable future.
We hold a deep respect for all life and accept the responsibility to care for Earth and to foster freedom and well-being in ourselves as well as in others.
Recognizing the sacredness of Earth and the fragility of its eco-systems, we commit ourselves to the healing of our planet and we encourage others to have a deeper understanding of the inter-connectedness and vulnerability of Earth and all life forms.
"Forests and fields, sun and wind and sky, earth and water, all speak the same language: peace, solitude, silence."
