A Contemplative Community Listening into Life

Selah is a welcoming community that pauses, encounters the Spirit through contemplative practice, and grows together toward wholeness and loving others.
Selah Center courses, seminars and other events emphasize personal, experiential learning. These offerings are opportunities to experience contemplative practices for the first time, and develop ongoing practices to cultivate a contemplative way of life.

Developing a contemplative rhythm to life requires intentionality and support. In addition to courses and seminars, we offer spiritual direction and other online resources to support individuals and groups on their contemplative journey.

Selah is not a church or an institution, but a growing, dispersed community of contemplatives who gather online and in-person. While many Selah companions are located in Washington State, our online gatherings provide opportunities for all to come together.

I appreciate the opportunity to participate in Kairos over the summer, when I’m not teaching. Thank you for all the support and the offering of Kairos during this last year. It was a true lifeline for me for the first six months of the pandemic when I was able to participate. What a gift!


I just re-read ‘Let Your God Love You’ in last year’s Reflections book for Lent. I used it when I facilitated my Listening Hearts group this morning. It helps me center myself as I slow down, sit in silence, let myself become still and let God look upon me.
As I sit in the quiet, God interrupts the silence and says he wants to sit with me at gaze at me. Be still, be silent, let me love you. I felt nervous. What will he want from me? What is he looking at? Nothing. It’s being present. Looking turns into knowing.

The essence of Selah for me is in creating moments where we experience the touch of the Spirit.
