Welcome to the Abbey

Where inner peace becomes a way of life

Alaric’s Abbey is a riverfront space in Durango, Colorado devoted to personal growth, contemplation, meaningful connection, and the practice of Living Peace.

​

Founded by writer and teacher Alaric Hutchinson, the Abbey brings together more than fifteen years of teaching, study, and practice centered on one enduring question: What actually helps us suffer less—and create less suffering for one another?

Through coaching, meditation, teaching, community gatherings, and retreats, the Abbey offers a place to explore that question together. Come as you are.

Peace with a backbone.

Peace isn’t about getting life perfectly under control. It is about learning how to meet life when it refuses to cooperate. Living Peace offers a practical approach to recognizing the thoughts, emotions, wounds, attachments, and reactions that reinforce suffering — and learning how to meet them differently.
