Our Purpose

Mission: Refreshing the Spirit, Loving the Land Treleven is a collaborative retreat and learning program that promotes stewardship and social action, reverence and innovation. One of our main projects is supporting the unincorporated Addison County Farmworkers Coalition, whose goal is to promote the well-being of farms and farmworkers (especially undocumented workers). Workers and community members join together opening doors, changing minds and policies, and working toward the day we can all live openly and joyously in this community.
