Help Someone Find Light Again
Your monthly gift makes rest, renewal, and hope possible year-round.
In a world that moves too fast, your monthly gift creates a steady source of stillness for those who need it most.
Every day, people are weighed down by exhaustion, isolation, and grief—unsure where to turn for peace.
But something shifts when they come to St. Mary’s Sewanee. In the hush of the bluff, in the rhythm of quiet walking or shared prayer, the healing begins.
One guest described it like this:
“When I arrive at St. Mary’s, it’s like a burden rolls off my shoulders. I leave with light in my heart and a sense of renewal.”
That’s the power of this place. And your monthly support keeps it going for every person who arrives weary and leaves renewed.
Your Monthly Gift Creates Sacred Space
A recurring donation does more than maintain a retreat center.
It preserves a place of transformation—day after day, season after season.
Your monthly giving helps:
Provide retreat scholarships for those carrying heavy burdens
Renew our facilities with dignity and care — so every guest feels at home
Sustain the contemplative hospitality that defines our mission
Monthly donors help ensure that sacred space never depends on seasonal fundraising or unpredictable income. They keep our doors open and our welcome unconditional.
Why Your Monthly Gift Matters Now
We live in a weary world. Many caregivers, leaders, and seekers are on the edge of burnout. They need refuge, reconnection, and a space to remember who they are—not just once, but whenever their spirit reaches a breaking point.
Your monthly generosity makes that possible.
“This is my safe place. I’ve come broken and crying — left at peace. I’ve come joyful — and left filled. I always get what I need.”

You’re not giving to a place.
You’re giving to the possibility of transformation—one person, one season, one sacred breath at a time.
