Mercy Center Burlingame

Mercy Center Burlingame is a progressive spiritual center founded in 1981. We provide retreats and conferences, virtual and in-person, where people become more attentive to the presence of the Divine in their lives and in the world. Through transformation we respond more fully in care of the Earth and service to others, especially the poor and the vulnerable. Offerings include Meditation, Wellness, Prayer, Eco-Spirituality, Professional & Social Development, Spiritual Direction, and Mutuality.

 

Internationally known, this conference and retreat center offers a peaceful and holistic environment for people of diverse faiths and backgrounds to nourish their spiritual and professional lives, and a convenient location for conferences and events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
