Stony Point Center is a religious retreat facility situated on about 32 acres in the Hudson Valley with multiple buildings including the Victorian Gilmor Sloane House. The grounds also feature the Evergreen conference building alongside meditation spaces and creative workshops.
Presbyterian church leaders established this center over four decades ago as a space for spiritual development. Since then it has grown to become a place where learning and social concerns are intertwined.
It serves as a gathering place for people exploring questions of community and social responsibility. The buildings and gardens create a setting where visitors can experience how spiritual practice connects with engagement in wider world issues.
The center sits about one hour north of New York City and provides overnight stays and meeting spaces for groups and individuals. Visitors should plan ahead to see what programs or activities match their interests, as offerings change with the seasons.
The center maintains several gardens where fresh produce is grown and harvested for community programs. These gardens serve both as food sources and as learning spaces where visitors can discover sustainable growing practices.
