Learn about the actions 
we are taking to work with this land

Our Responsibility

Picture
Loretto Maryholme is committed to listening to the land we enjoy. It teaches us a great deal and not only about itself. Our land on this hill overlooking Lake Simcoe is partly wooded, and partly grasslands behind a long natural shoreline. We manage the property without the use of pesticides. We reuse materials wherever possible;
a walk in the woods will show you some of the reuse of trees. Our guiding principle is to make the land as natural as possible.

There is a sacredness to this land. The energy is good here and we bask in it. In 2001, as a religious community,
 we accepted the challenge from one of our own members to try to convert our very special summer home to a spirituality center with an emphasis on creation spirituality.

For those of us who are concerned about our beloved planet, it meant putting our beliefs into action to show respect
for the land and begin renewing it. For years it had nourished us and our visitors; it was time to begin to give back and to help it to heal.
