Springbank Retreat Center for EcoSpirituality and the Arts in Kingstree, S.C., is part of religious communities’ mission in the U.S. and Ireland dedicated to teaching people about conservation, clean energy and respect for the natural world. In the Diocese of Charleston – the only diocese in the state, the center has had a presence by the Dominican Sisters of Adrian, Mich., since the 1980s, when Sr. Betty Condon became the center’s director. Its retreats and programs are run by a variety of women religious communities.
