Charis Snowmass Dialogues

“In my decades of interspiritual dialogue, the most significant are those sponsored by the Charis Foundation, in the spirit of Thomas Keating’s Snowmass Dialogues. They are small, intimate, and focused on contemplative practice and experience. They also reflect a creative balance of gender, age, cultures, and religious traditions. This is the wave of the future in dialogue.”


— Tessa Bielecki, author of Holy Daring

Initiated in 2016, with the blessing of Father Thomas Keating, the Charis Snowmass Dialogues continue the spirit of the original Snowmass Interreligious Dialogues (1984-2015). These week-long, invitation only dialogue-retreats are held in a relaxed contemplative atmosphere with an intimate group of twelve teachers, thinkers, and practitioners from diverse backgrounds. Each dialogue highlights an aspect of spiritual life, with topics such as The Future of Religion, Spiritual Practice, The New Monastery, Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Community.
