Contemplative research, recovery and repair for the sake of the world.
THE ALCYON CENTER
At the heart of Alcyon is steady practice: sitting in prayer and contemplation, walking the labyrinth, studying sacred text, participating in Benedictine labor, preparing communal meals, and honoring the Silence.
Greetings from Alcyon!
We are so thankful for all of you - the hundreds of visitors, donors and volunteers who hold us together, body, soul and spirit. In April, for example, close to 20 people gave 200 hours of outdoor work getting us ready for summer. The Center is swept, scrubbed, and shined; the labyrinth and the trails are raked and chipped. We're already ready to welcome you!

This year we are introducing some new programs - notably recovery-centered and deepening practice weekends - and welcoming back some Alcyon “classics” and monthly community gatherings like Bible Study and Soul Friends.
We gratefully acknowledge and humbly ask for your continued financial support of Alcyon. We hope you'll find your way here to see how things are evolving. The Alcyon Community, leadership team, and vision are are growing. Start planning your visit now!
Blessings from the Cove!
