Shalem Institute A dynamic & inclusive community where seekers transform themselves & the world through spiritual growth, deep connection, and courageous action.

Since 1973, the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation has fostered contemplative living and leadership by caring for the spiritual heart in prayer and by offering ways of opening into the life of the Spirit through our programs and other resources. We welcome individuals wherever they are on the path of spiritual discovery. Shalem is grounded in Christian contemplative spirituality yet draws on

the wisdom of many religious traditions. We provide opportunity for spiritual exploration individually and within a community of seekers.

🌿Happy Mindful Monday

Today’s MM comes to us by way of Rev. Adam Bucko, inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh. Thank you to our contemplative teachers & guides!

🌿When you slow down to breathe in…and breathe out…what do you notice? How do you feel?

-Sunday Prayer-

It is such a joy to bless our moms—those who have carried us in their bodies, and in their hearts, and in their minds, and all those who have mothered us in some form or fashion.

We thank them and honor them all, those we can hug today, and those who are now gone or distant from us.

We ask Your blessing too on those for whom mothering is complicated, difficult, heartbreaking, or incomplete.

Bless and heal and restore and rebuild all generations, forwards and backwards in time.

-Kate Bowler

Good Mindful Monday to you!

Today’s reflection comes to us from theologian Walter Brueggemann “A Prayer of Protest” in marking the International Day of the Worker on May 1st.

You are invited to take a contemplative stance, allowing these words and images to wash over you; noticing what makes you curious, what comes up.

Let us know what arises for you in the comments👇

May the Fourth Be With You, and all workers of the world✨
