Mission Statement
Sacred Groves’ Vision
A community of friends and families living light on the earth in a forest sanctuary, in harmony with each other, nature and spirit.
Mission
Our purpose is to model a low impact, affordable lifestyle that respects and protects Mother Earth now and for the future by embracing community living, voluntary simplicity and earth-based spirituality. We welcome guests and clients to the land for healing work, art, music, rituals, learning, prayer and retreat time in the woods.
Values
- We believe the earth is sacred, a place for prayer and peace
- We value every man, woman and child, believing each has a unique gift to contribute.
- We respect a diversity of spiritual paths and the many names of God/Goddess/Great Spirit.
- We strive to minimize our impact and keep our air, land and waters clean. Our lifestyle includes downsizing, water and fuel conservation, natural foods, buying and building green, composting, recycling, salvaging, avoiding the use of chemicals.
- We enliven feminine wisdom by honoring intuition of the heart, the importance of process, and by BE-ing as much as DO-ing.
- We believe that art, music, dance, prayer, ceremony, and time in the natural world are essential for personal and community health.
- We practice consensus for decision making, rotating leadership, equality and respect between men and women.
- We are committed to creating peace in our world through personal accountability, conflict resolution, reconciliation and forgiveness.
