Welcome to Rooted in Hope, the Racine Dominican Eco-Justice Center!

Since our beginning in 2004, with the help and inspiration of many people, we have met many of our goals related to green, sustainable living. We have built a green addition to the 1912 farmhouse and assembled a green house.   Other installed features are solar hot water, solar electric, geo-thermal heating and cooling.  We have constructed the Education Center and a beautiful Hermitage. A pig barn has been remodeled into a honey house.  Our most recent and exciting addition is a 10Kw wind turbine. In addition, we offer tours, field trips, ecology camps and welcome over 5,000 visitors annually.

Our center continues to evolve in living our mission of environmental education and care of Earth in the context of community, contemplation, creativity, and cultivation.
