The Shalem Institute provides in-depth support for contemplative living and leadership -- a way of being in the world that is prayerfully attentive and responsive to God's presence and guidance. 
Once a month Shalem sends out an eNews that includes insightful articles on contemplative spirituality, information on Shalem programs and other newsworthy items.  

This archive contains previous issues of Shalem's eNews.  Keep in mind, though, that this information is dated, so many of the programs that are featured may be already over.

  • Reflections on Discernment & Thanksgiving by Lee Goodwin  (11/16/2012)

For me, growing discernment has to do with fine-tuning the 'eyes and ears' of the heart-listening and watching." - Lee Goodwin
