Contemplative research, recovery and repair for the sake of the world.
THE ALCYON CENTER
At the heart of Alcyon is steady practice: sitting for morning prayer and contemplation, walking the labyrinth, studying sacred text, participating in Benedictine labor and communal meals, and honoring The Great 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 late October, for example, 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. We're already planning for spring!
Check out the roster of 2026 Programs!
We are very much looking forward to 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 in support of the work of Alcyon. We hope you'll find your way here to see how things are evolving. The Alcyon Community and leadership team are are growing and expanding. Start planning your visit now!
