Give the Gift of Rest, Renewal, and Reconnection
Your Gift Creates Sacred Space for Transformation
In a noisy and weary world, St. Mary’s Sewanee offers something rare — silence that speaks, beauty that heals, and a space where souls can rest, renew, and reconnect.
This sacred place matters now more than ever.
Caregivers, clergy, artists, recovery communities, and seekers of every kind arrive on the Mountain carrying burdens and leave with their hearts restored.
Your year-end gift ensures that those who need retreat most — but can least afford it — will find their way to the bluff.
When you give to St. Mary’s Sewanee, you invest in more than a place.
You invest in:
People — offering scholarships to frontline workers, clergy, and activists
Place — renewing our sacred grounds, including vital facility updates
Practice — sustaining transformative retreats and programs for all spiritual seekers
At a time when the world feels divided and heavy, St. Mary’s Sewanee remains a place of quiet transformation — where weary souls rediscover strength, clarity, and peace.
This year alone, hundreds have come to the mountain for rest. Guests have walked the labyrinth in silence, sat in stillness on the bluff, and left renewed — carrying light back into their lives, families, and communities.
But we cannot continue this sacred work without your support.
Your year-end gift by December 31 helps ensure that those carrying the heaviest burdens — caregivers, pastors, parents, and people in recovery — can find rest, renewal, and reconnection in the year ahead.
“When I arrived, I felt heavy and burdened. After days at St. Mary’s Sewanee, I left carrying light again.” — Retreat Guest
Please give now and make space for someone else to breathe deeply, rest fully, and reconnect with what matters most.
Why It Matters
St. Mary’s Sewanee is more than a retreat center. It’s a sanctuary — a sacred space where the noise of the world quiets, and the soul can listen again.
Every day, someone arrives on the mountain seeking clarity, healing, and peace. And every day, they are met with hospitality, simplicity, and spiritual rest.
“This is my safe place. I’ve come broken and crying — and left at peace.”
“The stress melts away the moment I turn onto St. Mary’s Lane.”
This is what your gift makes possible.
As 2025 approaches, your generosity helps restore what the world takes away. From silent prayer to shared meals, every program and every sacred space exists because of donors like you.
And as the year draws to a close, your support ensures that someone else will find the strength to keep going.
Give today. Be the gift of rest, renewal, and reconnection — before the year ends.
