SALT is sponsored by Seattle University and hosted by congregations throughout the western Washington area.
Plans are in the works for expansion to central Washington as well.
SALT consists of two years of three seasons each of study, plus an optional third year of several intensive weekends of leadership training. Each season is eight sessions, two and half hours each. The opportunity to study, pray and share spirituality with an ongoing small group in the context of exciting presentations by experienced teachers can be for many a life-changing event. The Academy is based on a Catholic monastic model of prayer, meals, study and silence. It's a great way to take a break and come back refreshed and invigorated.
