INTERFAITH
TRAILS

The
center maintains a series of trails throughout the property.
The paths wind around the main buildings and disappear into
the woods and fields. All together, the trails are several
miles in length and suitable for quiet reflective walks. Signs
with sayings from world religions, veiled among the trees,
and flowers blooming along the path, remind us of the beauty
of nature. There are meditation huts and benches
along the way for rest and contemplation. Mothers Trust Retreat House Available. |
