This place changed my life so much in many positive ways. I am so grateful to staff there. Helped me heal in community just like they advertised. I never felt judged there. Affordable even if you’re low income. The photo attached contains notes from a speech I made. Life is good.

Wonderful place. Started back in the 70s, this former urban monastery has been transformed into a new source of life and renewal for Denver. Most residents have previously experienced human crisis and/or disruption and this institution supports and heals. Thanks E.J., Thanks Bill, Thanks Clarence. keep on keeping on.
