Our Roots

Weber Center is a place for people of all faiths to experience world-class programming; enjoy quiet spaces for individual prayer, meditation, and contemplation; and for nonprofits to host their programs in a state-of-the-art affordable facility.
Weber Center is situated on 100 acres of wooded land on the campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Motherhouse in southeast Michigan.

Everything from the beautiful buds on flowers and trees to the quiet, comfortable home-away-from-home was just what my spirit needed.

– Angela
I love Weber Center's peaceful environs and needed a retreat. Little did I expect the mind-awakening experience that your presenter provided. ... Her message was transforming, and I am most grateful.
- Aladean
The setting is wonderful, quiet, comfortable, nurturing, a ‘nesting place,’ a resting place.
– Margaret
These Saturdays with Esther and my fellow meditators is truly a lifeline for me, a moment to step out of ‘clock time’ and into ‘sacred time.’
– Kathleen
Great place! Relaxing, good food, great weekend.
