Four Quarters Interfaith Sanctuary
Four Quarters is a Membership-driven non-profit, a vibrant community of real people living real lives. Four Quarters actually owns the Land, buildings and equipment that make our work possible, forever set aside from the vagaries of private ownership.

The content of our events is developed by Member Planning Groups; our buildings are built and the Camp Staffed by Member volunteers. Our twice monthly Spiritual Circles are led by Members who ask good questions, and volunteer their Service to our Community. If it happens, it is because our Members make it happen.

At our core, Four Quarters is The Land. One of the most beautiful campgrounds in the Alleghenies, set aside in perpetuity as a Sanctuary for Nature... and for People.
A lasting home for Earth Based Spirituality. Where our Members seasonal campsites become their home away from home, and our guests can "get a feel" for our kind of community... and become a part of it. Home for Ceremony and Celebration.

Since 1994 Four Quarters has been growing functional cultural alternatives, firmly grounded in an Ecological and Earth Spiritual perspective.

We derive our spiritual inspiration from nature, and seek to live within the physical limits of the Land, its seasons and cycles. We do not teach any "...isms" and we do not pretend to have "The Answer..." But we do try to ask good questions.

Earth Spirit and Earth Living.
