This community is located in Woodley Park, a section between Adams-Morgan and Van Ness neighborhoods. The Northwest corridor of Washington, DC, is close to Arlington, VA, a 10 minute drive through Rock Creek Park.

Our vision is to eventually rent the adjacent apartments and then ASAP expand to a larger retreat center in a country setting, when funds are manifested in common for the group. We are in process of bidding on a house with 3 acres near Lost River, West Virginia, 2.5 hr drive from DC

Companions in Spirit was founded in 1985 and is an Eucharistic, Ecumenical and Spiritually Eclectic and Inclusive Community in association with The Fraternity of Mercy, www.fraternityofmercy.org

Sharing prayer, insights and meals together, i.e. having book/tape groups/workshops and spiritual life in common.
