About the Conference Hosts

The Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC), located in Albuquerque,New Mexico, was founded in 1987 by Franciscan Father Richard Rohr who saw the need for a training/formation center that would allow spiritually seeking people to balance social action with contemplation, and contemplation with social action. Committed to offering a constructive message of the Gospel that crosses boundaries of religion, ethnicity, social class and gender, the CAC provides numerous programs and resources aimed at offering hope, inspiration and spiritual challenge.

12 Step Outreach is a group of individuals in recovery who offer Centering Prayer, a method taught by Contemplative Outreach, to people in all 12 Step Fellowships as an 11th Step prayer and meditative practice. We help individuals establish meditative practices through small Centering Prayer groups, 11th Step recovery meetings, introductory workshops, retreats, formation programs, and support for the practice.
