The Light Center is a beacon lighting the way into a vibrant future.
Harmonizing with the earth, inspiring personal, local and global connection. Providing safe space for spiritual growth and healing, and empowering youth.
We are a retreat center and an organic sustainable farm, providing natural sacred spaces for hiking and camping, celebrations and ceremonies. The Light Center is creating new paths into the future with open hearts.
It is dedicated to living, learning and growing in partnership with Nature as we adapt to a rapidly changing world. For twenty years, it has offered a wide range of small group intensive retreats and workshops, focusing on a variety of ways for spiritual healing and self-development. Our programs are held in a 125 year old converted barn located just west of Baldwin City, Kansas featuring many interwoven projects. We act as an educational permaculture based farm and learning center. The Light Center is a nonprofit Alternative Unity Ministry with 501c3 privileges under the umbrella of Unity Worldwide Ministries.
A natural sanctuary nestled on 95 wooded acres of sacred space.

With your help, we are able to attain our mission to hold sacred space for renewal and serve people seeking wholeness in partnership with Nature.
Our vision is to be a clear channel for healing light to reconnect people to their hearts, that we may live in oneness on the sacred earth.
We host many family festivals and camps, communal potlucks and movie screenings, private yoga practice and meditation, or just the stillness of a summer morning.
Our property also includes a hand built sweat lodge, organic, sustainable gardens and animals, abundant wildlife, and an amazing medicine wheel.
Our chickens and goats are very people friendly and will love to visit with you. There are Blackberries for picking in season and we welcome visitors into our all natural vegetable gardens. Frequently fresh eggs are available from our healthy, free-range hens. In springtime there are usually baby chicks and goats to enjoy.
Event space for rent in The Barn and 30ft Yurt.
