Our participants thoroughly enjoyed this location in August 2023 and requested us to schedule more retreats here. We also saw on the Genesis history wall that this facility had been used by the TM organization since the 1970s.

From the Genesis Website: Set on 19 acres in a residential neighborhood in Westfield, Massachusetts, Providence Arboretum encompasses the grounds of Genesis Spiritual Life and Conference Center, a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Providence whose mission dates back over 140 years as a transforming and healing presence in the region. Providence Arboretum is a contemplative and reflective environment. During retreat season, June – September, we request all Arboretum guests maintain our serene and peaceful atmosphere by conversing in low voices and being aware of other guests. Our grounds are kept beautiful and environmentally healthy for inspiration, reflection, enjoyment, and learning.
