Supporting Contemplative Living and Leadership
Shalem offers a variety of short programs in the Mid-Atlantic Region, has begun programs in various locations around the country, and has for years offered pilgrimages across the world. Shalem has been providing various forms of ecumenical spiritual formation experiences for enriching ministries and for personal spiritual deepening for over 30 years. All programs:
- Encourage the personal spiritual practices to which individuals are called
- Offer resources for listening and responding authentically to God
- Share a contemplative orientation—an open willingness to be present to God in the moment.

The 2007-08 Program Year
We will be taking the 2007-08 program year as a sabbatical time to allow space to review and discern what is called for in all of our short-term programs. As a result of this decision, in the Mid-Atlantic region, our short offerings are fewer and more focused on complementing our extension programs than they have been in the past.
The 2007-08 program year consists of an open house, a special event,
introductory programs, two regional gatherings, a special workshop, a quiet day, a retreat, and a pilgrimage.
You are also invited to join us each Wednesday for our weekly Prayer Peace Circle. To explore these events by type of offering, we invite you to refer to the categories on the left bar.
For a complete list of 2007-08 short programs and events, in chronological order, see the 2007-08 Program Calendar.
You may now register and pay for short programs on line, as well as by fax and phone. Refer to How to Register for more information on enrollment options.
