Charis Foundation For New Monacticism & Interspirituality

Charis operates and hosts contemplative retreats at "Charis Mandala Sanctuary," a 120 acre retreat center in Des Moines, NM. Charis Mandala Sanctuary is the physical and spiritual home of Charis, with two lodges and an awe-inspiring main center, where new monastics and interspiritual practitioners gather from around the world in retreat. Charis Mandala Sanctuary cultivates an atmosphere of prolonged contemplative practice and interspiritual dialogue, providing a place of refuge in an increasingly hectic and fragile world.

The Keating-Schachter Center for Interspirituality (KSC) at Naropa University, a project of the Charis Foundation, is dedicated to bringing genuine spiritual wisdom into education, creating opportunities for university students and staff to meet and interact with genuine wisdom holders from the diversity of the world's spiritual traditions. To this end, each semester KSC sponsors a World Wisdom Teacher-in-Residence to meet with students and staff for small circle dialogues, extended retreats, and to give public talks to the Boulder community. KSC also sponsors smaller community-focused "Wisdom Talks" throughout the school year, as well as multi-religious and interspiritual practice-opportunities and resources, courses, groups, retreats, and dialogues at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, and at our affiliated retreat facility, Charis Mandala Sanctuary in Des Moines, New Mexico. In this way, we hope to influence future leaders through integrated experiences of wisdom. The center honors the legacy of two of our most important spiritual teachers, Father Thomas Keating and Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.

Soul Circles is an online class on dreamwork and its relation to the spiritual journey.

The New Monastics Podcast offers dialogue with some of today's leading spiritual teachers and thinkers on all aspects of contemplative life, with a special focus on interspirituality and new monasticism. Amid continuing changes to our spiritual and religious landscape, we explore the tenets of living a life dedicated to spiritual development and truth.
