Shalem Programs
Shalem provides a variety of programs to support contemplative living and leadership.
All of our programs:
Share a contemplative orientation—an open willingness to be present to God in the moment;
Offer resources for listening and responding authentically to God;
Encourage the personal spiritual practices to which individuals are called;
Provide various forms of ecumenical spiritual formation experiences.

ministries and vary between 3 months and 18 months in length. To learn more about any of these programs, click on the
