Mercy Ecospirituality Center
Our mission is to inspire reverence for Earth and to live in harmony with all of creation.
In response to COVID-19, we at Mercy Ecospirituality Center have established protocols to ensure a safe environment for guests. We are currently welcoming individuals or small groups for retreat, but we ask that you please contact us ahead of time so that we can accommodate accordingly.
May we all continue to hold each other, both our local and global communities, in our thoughts and prayers during these turbulent times. May we all be safe and stay well!
A space for healing, community and reflection
At Mercy Ecospirituality Center, we've come to know our connection to nature as a spiritual practice - one that invites us to contemplate and engage with the world in an intentional way. Dedicated to developing a more insightful and meaningful relationship with self and the world around us, our community focuses on connecting people with nature and healing the earth by weaving together practices like local outreach, gardening, beekeeping, farming and sustainability.
