TRAININGS, PERSONAL RETREATS, COMMUNITY LIFE

Programs for our cultural moment.

What if we all became contemplative cultural researchers seeking, with courage and open hearts, to repair the breaches in our communities? Deep healing conversations start here, gently, patiently when we ask:

  • Can we name our Holy Aim, what we came here to do?

  • What is the more beautiful world we know is possible?

  • What will our devotion to a quest ask of us?

  • What new capacities are needed to serve the healing?

 

Alcyon Experience

Naturally evolving out of our former cornerstone courses, this program offers a substantial experience of The Alcyon Center as a place of silence for the inner work of body, soul, and spirit.

Before Breaking Ground

With artistic, meditative and practical activities, we will explore the transformative nature of spiritual science through this new holistic international agriculture movement. Come ready to prepare your inner soil, your soul, on behalf of all the life you steward.

Beauty In Silence Week

For those with an existing practice of silence. During the Silent Week Intensive, the most vital questions are the ones we bring to our dialogue with Silence, with the support of our fellow retreatants.

Community Life

The Alcyon Center offers daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal ways to practice silence, study sacred texts, engage in soul conversations and join in the gift of gardens and grounds work.

 

Living the Virtues

Working with Robert Sardello’s The Power of Soul, this three-year, quarterly series builds capacities for the way of sacred service in the world. The 2024 sessions are full.

Recovery Cornerstone

For those in recovery who are seekers - of new experience, depth, and a relationship with silence, heart and earth. We will introduce silence and heart practices, along with Pardes, and group spiritual direction. More specific information coming soon.

Personal Retreats

Simple and Silent Personal Retreats offer the Alcyon basics: a single room, morning sit together, and the rest of the time to yourself. Bring your own food and make your own schedule.

The Hidden Seed

This collegial study group is exploring the Christ Mystery in order to understand more fully what Alcyon is being asked to become. The 2024 session is full.
