Meet One of the Many Great Nonprofits you will be supporting with this year’s Earth Walk: The Earth & Spirit Center

This interfaith spirituality center offers transformative learning, mindfulness, and engagement to benefit individuals, the community, and the planet

The Earth & Spirit Center is a nonprofit, interfaith spirituality center. We work to create a single, sacred Earth Community in which all members flourish. Our mission is to cultivate transformative learning and service opportunities dedicated to mindful awakening, compassionate justice, and care for the Earth.

We believe that a contemplative spiritual practice can provide vision, motivation, and practical tools to engage helpfully in the personal, organizational, social, and environmental challenges of our time. Mindfulness works to reduce stress, lessen emotional reactivity, increase focus, improve relationships, and strengthen compassion.

“The Earth & Spirit Center is one of the places that’s given me a real grassroot basis for living my everyday life, and I want to say how appreciative I am for their programs,” one Earth & Spirit program participant. “I’ve found them all very interesting and profound in different ways, and I feel very blessed to have attended them.”

Support for the Earth & Spirit Center means you are supporting programs that bring each of us closer to the idea that everything is interconnected—you, me, that tree outside your window. For us, everything depends on everything. Through educational programs and hands-on engagement, we work for the flourishing of individuals, communities, and all of the creatures that form the sacred communion of the living Earth.

The Earth & Spirit Center is in a unique natural environment in the middle of an urban city on 27 wooded acres in the Louisville Highlands neighborhood. Our programs work to benefit the community in the following areas:

∙ Mindfulness meditation courses, workshops, and experiences

∙ Earth Care Programs

∙ Social Justice

∙ Retreats

∙ Summer Camps

∙ The Institute for Applied Mindfulness (Mindfulness for Organizations)

The Earth & Spirit Center is the largest provider of bricks-and-mortar mindfulness instruction in the central United States. Experienced, qualified instructors teach rigorous courses on a variety of meditation topics for beginners through veteran meditators. Our staff also includes professionals in environmental advocacy, theological education, social activism, and more.

Whether you’re interested in learning the basics of meditation, looking for opportunities to engage in social justice issues, or just want to find a community where you belong, the Earth & Spirit Center is here for you.
