Covey is a self-directed, outdoor learning community in New Mexico with seasonal gathering spaces in Albuquerque, Tijeras, and beyond.
We meet outside in all kinds of weather, letting the seasons shape our days—and move indoors only when conditions call for it. Each location supports connection, curiosity, and the rhythms of the year.
