Faith Programs

“Befriending the Earth” programs are designed for faith communities to provide opportunities for eco-spiritual retreats and environmental education. These programs are supported by an independent Befriending the Earth Council and offer a special opportunity for the faith communities who have been a vital part of the history of Tucker House.

Program Options

There are a wide range of Eco-Spiritual themes including:

Eco-Spiritual Retreats: weekend reflections for adults on nature and our connection to Creation.

Food and Faith: spirituality and organic agriculture - includes a garden tour and discussion

Wonders of Creation: seeking the sacredness of nature - includes a nature walk and reflection

The Earth is the Lord's: workshops for children and youth on environmental issues and spirituality

Youth Work Project: A great opportunity to work together for a great cause. Activities can include working in the organic garden for an afternoon, helping clean up the Nature Trails or indoor cleaning and repairs. A great team-building adventure in faith!

These activities can be customized for adult groups and/or children and youth groups. They can be organized as an overnight weekend event or a special activity for Sunday School classes or youth groups.
