Some visitors claim that the walls of Santa Sabina speak, communicating a sense of calm and peace, and foster rest and restoration. They say that presence was cultivated by the prayer of the Dominican Sisters who honed their understanding of the contemplative life through daily practice, consecrating it for a future as a place of retreat. So, it has served thousands of guests since 1970 when the center started welcoming spiritual seekers from various faith traditions and spiritual paths. It is the mission of the Dominican Sisters and of Santa Sabina Center to foster contemplative ways of being.

Our program selections for 2023 are exciting and diverse, from our Day of Prayer offerings to our weekend and week-long options. We are also booking hosted groups for 2023 and 2024.  We continue to maintain some basic COVID safety protocols. These are updated as new information is available; thus far, in this intimate setting they have served our guests well. (Please download the Current Center Safety Protocols for reference. Last updated July 2023.) We look forward to welcoming you to our monthly offerings and special programs.   

We are most grateful to all who have chosen to support us through direct contributions as we seek to sustain the Center. Your gifts are critical to helping us maintain this sacred space into the future.
