The Alcyon Center
Contemplative Culture Research, Recovery and Repair for the sake of the world.
Late Fall greetings from Seal Cove!
As we come to the end of 2025 we are grateful for the hundreds of visits and donors and volunteers who hold us together, body, soul and spirit. Late October 20 people, ages 5 - 85, gave 200 hours of outdoor work getting us ready for winter. The labyrinth and all the trails are newly raked and chipped. The mudroom is full of apples. We're ready for the quiet season. In January and February we'll be open for Personal Retreat times.
Each late fall we send out our annual appeal letter and put the finishing touches on the 2026 program. We're excited to be returning to full programming next year, and hope you'll find your way here to see how things are evolving. The Alcyon Community is growing and our leadership team is expanding in new directions.
You'll hear more about this in the early December email News from the Cove. Stay tuned!
Blessings from the Cove from Kathryn Booth and Joan Jordan Grant, Directors

Our perspective from the first 15 years (!) of Alcyon
We imagine each one of you—companions, donors, guests, friends—your own devotion to your own quests and the way you are present always on the Cove.
Goodness, where would we be without you?
Experimenting + encountering
Alcyon is an experiment in practicing community, spiritual hospitality, and theological study for our times. At root, we follow the cultural notion that Silence encountered in the depth of the human heart is healing medicine for the world.
