EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SEARCH 2026
We are entering into a process of discernment to identify Shalem’s next executive director in light of Margaret Benefiel’s retirement after 10 years of service.
Check this page for any announcements and updates from the Board of Directors regarding the status of the search process.
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.
