Center for Action and Contemplation
We are a center for experiential education, rooted in the Gospels, encouraging the transformation of human consciousness through contemplation, and equipping people to be instruments of peaceful change in the world.
CAC teaches contemplative practice that nurtures compassionate action. For over 25 years the CAC has supported the ecumenical ministry of Franciscan Richard Rohr. The non-profit’s administrative offices and bookstore serve people in more than 40 countries, providing educational resources that are grounded in the Christian Tradition and are welcoming of all truth within the Perennial Tradition. CAC offers a free daily email by Fr. Richard, self-paced online courses, a two-year intensive program, publications, recordings, and in-person events. For more information, please visit www.cac.org.
