The human heart is exquisitely fragile. Our judgments need to be gentle, our understanding deep, and our forgiveness wide.
~Ron Rolheiser
Shalem is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and we depend on charitable contributions to sustain our ministry. Individual gifts comprise about one-third of our needed income, and each gift, no matter the size, is vital to us. With your help, Shalem will continue to provide essential resources for contemplative living and leadership.
Our mission is to nurture contemplative living and leadership.
In 2025, Shalem will be a dynamic and inclusive community, empowered by the Spirit, where seekers engage in transformation of themselves, their communities, and the world through spiritual growth, deep connection, and courageous action.
I love this challenging instruction about the human heart and would love to be the person who can be so understanding and forgiving.
