The Cooperative for Integral Ecology
The Cooperative for Integral Ecology is here to accompany individuals and faith communities as they live into integral ecology through action and contemplation.
We do this by facilitating environmental encounters, retreats, speaking engagements, and consulting services.
Grounding Principles
Community
It all comes down to relationship. Relationship with self, others, the world around us, and that which knits us together.
Spirituality
Holding space for the transcendent and maintaining a posture of openness is what grounds our work.
Ecology
"Nothing has ever been said about God that has not already been said better by the wind in the pine trees." ~ Thomas Merton
Our Services
