t. Mary’s Sewanee, a Center for Spiritual Development resting on Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau, offers a place of natural beauty and quiet for retreat, renewal and learning. Grounded in the tradition and experience of the Episcopal Church, our mission of spiritual hospitality extends to persons of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds.

Church groups and not-for-profit organizations gather at St. Mary’s Sewanee to reflect, plan, and deepen vital connections. Individuals, couples and small groups participate in our programs and learn from gifted national, regional and local presenters. Guests also come to the mountain to make personal retreats in this space set apart from the noise and rush of daily life.

St. Mary's Sewanee is a place of peace where each of our guests can encounter beauty and simplicity, silence and tranquility, warm welcome and spiritual friendship.
