Getting Ready to Take Off

Dear Friends,

During the forced slow down of the pandemic, we have been building Halcyon Arts, a new tax-exempt, nonprofit organization incorporated in Massachusetts. Our stated purpose is to bring music and spirituality to New England by presenting programs to enrich and transform. Music and spirituality are the two wings that give us the ability to fly.

Now that the virus's grip is beginning to loosen, our summer and fall retreats planned at Hallelujah Farm Retreat in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, are confirmed and ready for registrations.

We have built our spirituality wing with Halcyon Institute for Spiritual Studies (HISS) and it is open for enrollment. HISS presents groups, retreats and a two-year program of study. Alongside the groups and retreats, the heart of the program is a core curriculum of four modules. Join the first cohort in spiritual studies exploring the first module, The Two Streams of Western Spirituality, beginning in September. Participants in the program will:

• Study living streams of spirituality from around the globe with an open heart and mind.
• Explore varieties and dimensions of mystical experience.
• Clarify their understanding of the perennial wisdom at the heart of the world’s religions. 
• Ignite their spiritual goals, values, and callings

The music wing of Halcyon Arts New England is currently under construction and will be a parallel institute for world music studies. In the meantime we have begun to offer online streaming concerts and both online and in-person workshops.

All the Best,
Beau
