About Claymont

and the Society for Continuous Education

Welcome to Claymont Retreat Center

The Claymont Society for Continuous Education is both a non-profit educational organization and a community. Our mission is to provide education and a place of learning for ourselves and others, with the aim of raising our own level of consciousness and contributing to the evolution of consciousness on the planet. To promote a way of life that is balanced, harmonious, and responsible toward nature.

Continuous education implies that by increasing the depth of our awareness and understanding we can be more fully connected to our environment, each other, and our own deeper nature, as well as living fully satisfying and meaningful lives. There are skills, concepts, and values that must be learned before we can shift from a self-centered existence to one that takes into consideration nature and our fellow humans.

Every Type of Event

The seminars, retreats, conferences, organic garden, and various other programs promote the goals of sustainability and continuous education. Those who work on and support these projects form the Claymont Community. Claymont uses the synergy of a diverse group of people engaged in a diverse set of projects to cooperate to form one well functioning organism. The Claymont Society hosts like-minded groups who use our facilities for seminars and retreats that promote their own approaches to sustainable living and inner development. All of these programs have education as their common thread and are inter-dependent.

Testimonials

“Claymont is an absolutely wonderful venue for residential seminars and conferences! I’ve been leading teachers’ workshops here for six years, and many participants have found their stay at Claymont the most memorable event of their entire summer vacation. The Claymont staff are graciousness itself, and the food is absolutely delicious. Communal dinners in the dining room and evening conversations over wine on the verandah foster a rare and precious sense of family that even led to a marriage last year!”
