In the midst of ongoing social and ecological upheaval, ShadowWings has been established as a 501(c)(3) to promote and endow St. Columba's mission to seek and cultivate a contemplative refuge of spiritually intimate communities that embody Christ in the world – holding out hope, healing, and ecological restoration. Ecumenical in scope, our vision is to ground contemplative practice in the scriptural, theological, and spiritual foundations of the Christian mystical tradition – giving fresh interpretations for the modern world.
