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 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, the Here & Now blog 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 WA State, 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!


My sense of the holy in everyday ordinary moments of life is becoming more acute as I’ve gathered with contemplative companions – friends both old and new. Thank you, Selah friends, for helping me become more open to God’s movements within and all around us.

“In Selah we have been able to create a gentle, safe space on Zoom where the generous love of God has been evident. I had no idea how much I would need this sacred space to navigate the rough waters of the story I’m living.”
