Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation Information

Shalem serves those who seek spiritual deepening in all of life. We welcome you wherever you are on the path of spiritual discovery. Shalem's programs center on contemplative teaching and practices that open the mind and awaken the heart to the living Spirit. Shalem is grounded in the Christian contemplative tradition, yet we draw on the wisdom of many religious traditions. We provide opportunity for spiritual exploration individually and within a community of seekers. Shalem is one of the most respected centers for spiritual deepening in the U.S. and globally. For 40 years, we have been privileged to have on staff and in our programs many of the world's foremost spiritual speakers and writers.
