The divine is present in all creation

Care for the earth comes out of our spirituality. Holy Wisdom Monastery includes acres of restored prairie and tree-covered land. The plants, the water, the birds and the wildlife are God’s gifts to us.

People are inspired by their experiences here. They discover a spirtual connection with the land. Whether caring for it as an environmental volunteer, walking the trails or spending time on a bench reflecting on the mysteries around them, there is something wonderful and amazing about having a place preserved as nature intended.

Our efforts and the commitment of all those who help us preserve, maintain and restore this place go beyond "green" trends. For us, it is a way of life. We strive to use only what we need so that resources can be preserved for others.

This reverence for creation informed our decision to decomission Benedict House and replace it with a sustainable monastery building, which will be built to the highest green-building standards.

You are invited to visit us and experience the dynamic beauty of nature.
