Initiated in 2016, with the permission 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.
