Join us for our Eighth Gerald May Seminar with
John Philip Newell as he speaks on Earth Awareness and Contemplative Practice
The great spiritual quest of the Western world today is not about belief in God. It is about the
experience of God. It is about seeking to encounter Sacredness now-- in the earth, in our
relationships with one another, and in the simple disciplines of contemplative practice.

Shalem Institute on Facebook
Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation nurtures contemplative living and leadership by caring for the spiritual heart in
prayer and by offering ways of opening into the life of the Spirit. We believe that living contemplatively is essential in
today's often chaotic and challenging world. And it is a way to live a truly authentic life—anchored in prayer, spiritually
discerning, responsive to God.
Our programs and resources draw particularly on the Christian contemplative tradition, and our participants come from
many different denominations, faith traditions, and walks of life.
At Shalem, we honor each individual spiritual path and welcome anyone who would seek to learn from the contemplative
way.
