Goal of Program

We work hard to support the paid staff in providing radical hospitality to a large diversity of guest groups at our 180 bed conference and retreat center. As Members of the Community of Living Traditions, the multifaith, residential intentional community of Muslims, Jews and Christians on campus, we learn about and strive to put into practice the legacy of hospitality and strategic nonviolence, justice and earth care that exists within each faith tradition, as we seek ways to support the larger faith-based movement for peace, nonviolence and eco-social justice.
