Greetings, dear friends,

We joyfully embrace the magic of love as we walk with all of you on the inner path of the soul in service to the world.

Check out the calendar of programs and events to see how you can spend time at Alcyon in 2025: notably our expanded Simple and Silent personal retreats, work weekends (APR 25-27 + OCT 24-26) and Beauty in Silence week (NOV 17-21).

Blessings from the Cove from Kathryn Booth and Joan Jordan Grant, Directors

LOVE works magic.
It is the final purpose of the world story, the Amen of the universe.
— Novalis (1772-1801)

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.
