Green Mountain Monastery (GMM) is a Catholic monastery located in the serene town of Greensboro, Vermont. Inspired by the teachings and legacy of their mentor, the late Fr. Thomas Berry, GMM’s founding mission emphasizes deep spirituality, environmental stewardship, and the pursuit of peace. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the monastery strives to foster a peaceful and contemplative space for reflection and growth.
Co-founded in 1999 by the late Passionist priest and cultural historian, Thomas Berry, Green Mountain Monastery (GMM) is a pioneering community of Catholic sisters dedicated to Earth healing and protection. GMM is the first Catholic community specifically founded to respond to the needs of the Eco-Zoic Era, which emphasizes the sacred interconnection of all life. "Eco-Zoic," meaning 'House of Life,' reflects a new era where humanity learns to live as mutually enhancing members of the Earth's Single Sacred Community.
With such a profound mission, GMM needed a website that truly represented its commitment to spiritual growth, environmental stewardship, and their unique role in the Eco-Zoic movement. The team at Four Nine Design worked closely with the leadership at GMM to ensure the website would reflect their values and vision for a better world.
We began the process with a custom-tailored leadership meeting to identify exactly how GMM wanted to present their brand and message. From there, we developed a thoughtful content architecture designed to showcase the monastery's work in environmental activism, Earth-centered spirituality, and social responsibility. Through collaboration, we created a website structure that tells the story of GMM’s mission, integrating large-format imagery to highlight their beautiful Vermont location and their commitment to healing the Earth.
Our design also took into consideration the specific needs for SEO and user experience, ensuring that the website is not only visually compelling but also highly accessible to people searching for eco-conscious spiritual communities. By using best practices in website design, including mobile optimization and clear, concise content, we were able to deliver a site that enhances their online visibility while aligning with their mission.
