Contemplative Living & Leadership
What type of program are you looking for?
Grounded in our understanding of God’s desire for peace, wholeness and well-being, we envision a world transformed by contemplative living and leadership in which all people honor one another and creation, recognize their unity and interconnectedness, and courageously seek to live out of this reality. – Shalem Institute’s Vision
Shalem’s mission is to nurture contemplative living and leadership. Our programs foster this mission by being soaked in prayer and offering in-depth resources within the support of a praying community.
