Three portals into contemplative living
Nestled in the mountain wilderness of Palgongsan, Alexandria Sanctuary holds three distinct paths for those who seek depth over distraction. Each portal has been shaped by centuries of contemplative tradition, adapted for the modern seeker who knows that transformation requires genuine encounter with the unknown.
These are not programs. They are passages — each demanding something real from those who enter.
Gate VI
동굴 침묵 수련
Days of silence. Sensory deprivation. The ancient cave tradition stripped to its essential bones — darkness, breath, and the dissolution of the ordinary self. No schedule. No agenda. Only what remains when everything else is taken away.
Enter the CaveGates I & II
임종 동행 돌봄
Accompaniment through cognitive dissolution and the final passage. For those navigating the unmapping of the self — dementia, terminal illness, the approaching threshold. Sacred witnessing by those trained in the art of being present without flinching.
Learn of CareGate VII
성소 공동체 거주
A home for the final chapter. Membership in a small, sacred community sustained by shared practice, tended land, and mutual witness. The long arc of belonging — not as retreat, but as the shape of a life lived in full consciousness.
Inquire of ResidenceThe cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.
