Schedule
During the last 12 years of her life, Margaret Austin
created a unique informal retreat center on her farm in
Chappell Hill, Texas. She opened her home and invited
retreatants to camp on her land, leaving a legacy that
is a model of giving in support of the inner life. The
Margaret Austin Center (www.macenter.org) is a public
charity established to preserve this beautiful rustic
facility as a quiet and inexpensive setting for retreats
and meetings. The Center, a 40-acre site full of native
pecan trees and views of rolling hills, serves primarily
the spiritual communities of Texas. The Margaret
Austin Center, located 65 miles from Houston and 95
miles from Austin, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
