Shadowcliff is a not-for-profit organization. Our mission is, “An eco-friendly mountain sanctuary where together we are creating a climate for a restorative world.” As a sanctuary, we provide a safe place for personal and community retreat and renewal. We also believe that human beings are changing our natural habitat in ways that are not healthy for us or other species. We need to change our behaviors in ways that allow us to live in harmony with the natural environment. At Shadowcliff, we educate and encourage others to reconnect with the natural world and ask questions about choices that we make during our lives. We provide this educational message to all of our guests and especially through our groups and educational workshops, many of which are conducted by Shadowcliff faculty. It is also important to our mission that we provide an affordable and meaningful experience to all of our guests. And, while we try and teach, we also learn much from our guests and from the natural world around us.
