Origin

Started in 2023, Growing Roots Retreat is an annual one-day spring retreat in collaboration with Mission & Ministry, hosted at Georgetown’s Calagnini Contemplative Center in Virginia. Growing Roots Retreat is Georgetown’s only retreat for faculty, staff, and students that brings together the Georgetown community to engage in ecological spirituality. Participants will have a chance to reflect collectively on their role in sustainability by connecting to Georgetown’s Jesuit and Ignatian values in a way that is open and accessible to all, regardless of religious affiliation. Together, we can build a community and culture at Georgetown for a sustainable future.
