Welcome to Green Mountain Monastery & Thomas Berry Sanctuary
-
"Our mission is to go into the future together with the natural world as a Single Sacred Community."
Fr. Thomas Berry
-
"We are not lacking in the dynamic forces needed to create the future. We live immersed in a sea of energy beyond all comprehension. But this energy, in an ultimate sense, is ours not by domination but by invocation."
Fr. Thomas Berry
-
"So integral is our inner world with the outer world that if the outer world is damaged, then the inner life of our souls is diminished proportionately."
Fr. Thomas Berry
-
"We must go far beyond any transformation of contemporary culture. We must go back to the genetic imperative from which human cultures emerge by a descent into our pre-rational and instinctive resources.
Our cultural resources have lost their integrity. They cannot be trusted. What is needed is not transcendence but “inscendence”, a return to our deeper knowing."
Fr. Thomas Berry
