We invite you and all people seeking to awaken to their inner depths to come to our centers of contemplative living in places of natural beauty from the California mountains to the Carolina shores.
Committed to personal, societal and planetary transformation in response to the perils of our day, our centers, founded and directed by Adrian Dominican women, are rooted in ecospirituality. Each uniquely expresses this commitment offering opportunities for communal learning, prayer, reflection, wisdom-sharing and solitude for mutual healing and growth in a spirit of wonder and gratitude.
Ecospirituality celebrates Divine presence in all creation, awakens wonderment at the 14 billion year evolutionary unfolding of life, honors the interconnectedness and deep interiority of all being, and recognizes humanity as one part of the whole Earth community. It calls us to:
- challenge heresies of domination, exploitation, and greed;
- live mutually enhancing right relationships; and
- reverence all life as sacred
