We are a full service retreat center that offers many opportunities for individuals, families, and groups.  

We also offer our own programs of education, culture, and faith right here at the Heart Ridge Retreat Center.
(And we also offer programs online and at other venues.)

and we have a Podcast!
where we talk about topics related to the events and retreats at Heart Ridge, music, media, and culture.  It's our way to connect with people who have been to Heart Ridge or have been supporters of our mission. 
 Please read our values below and browse our website. For the latest news and information on the Retreat and Cultural Center be sure to like and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.  And please. . . 

Heart Ridge Mission and Values 

Picture
​​Through Catholic Hospitality, Heart Ridge helps people  renew, create, encounter, restore, and connect.  We want people to "get to the heart of it."

WE VALUE:
  • Familial bonds, deep friendships, and meaningful community
  • Wonder, awe, and the discovery of God and ourselves through nature, art and each other
  • Education that promotes understanding and dialogue, and helps one discover the true, the good, and the beautiful
  • Music (in all of its genres) and other forms of art for what they awaken in the human heart and reveal about man and God
  • The restorative power of time spent in nature
  • Local farming, sustainability, and ecological responsibility
  • Technology and media that communicates the truth and facilitates real-life connections
  • Time, space, and resources to facilitate healing
  • Diversity in people and programs.  All people are welcomed and treated with dignity.  All points of view are respected.  
  • Opportunities for all families and individuals regardless of their ability to pay
  • ​​The Roman Catholic Church with Mary, the saints, and Pope Leo, our Shepherd, with all the church's rich traditions, through which we see the world and grow in our relationship with Christ
​“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, 
whatever is just, whatever 
is pure, 
whatever is lovely, 
whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (Philippians 4:8)"
 
 WE will support these values through our programs primarily offered at the retreat and cultural center,  but also with our Heart Ridge produced online programs and media.
