Place and Space

God calls humans to exercise their dominion to cause the world to flourish. Too often, humans have shrunk from this sacred calling, ignoring the responsibility or exploiting our power. Sometimes we abdicate, and other times we dominate. Our abbey commits to draw out the potential of this property to create a home full of beauty, joy, and rest, which we will share generously with our neighbors. The dedicated sanctuaries for worship, the supper tables for hospitality, the pastures and gardens for food: we treat all these spaces with respect and intention, a care born out of love.
