White Violet Center for Eco-Justice
Teaching, caring, inspiring for all creation. A ministry of the Sisters of Providence, White Violet Center for Eco-Justice at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana was established in 1996. Here you’ll find a herd of alpacas, a flock of laying chickens, a 5-acre USDA certified organic garden, orchards, bee hives, a Farm Store, nature trail and internship opportunities.
Come on out for ‘Alpaca Yoga’
We hope you will join us this summer for an opportunity to take some time for yourself to reconnect with nature and restore your energy!
