This “Retreat in Everyday Life” offers the complete experience of the Spiritual Exercises over a nine-month period. St. Ignatius recognized that most people – even back in the 1500s – needed a way to deepen their prayer amid the busyness of their lives! Using contemporary resources, the wisdom Ignatius received from God is still pertinent today.

Who might benefit:

• Those who desire to grow in their relationship with God
• Those who desire to live life more fully
• Those who seek to understand more clearly God’s movements in their lives
• Those who want to discern the next step in their lives, or who are already in transition

Prerequisites include:

• Possessing a genuine desire to grow in relationship with God
• Committing to time for prayer each day throughout the duration of the retreat (approximately 9 months), plus daily journaling about the prayer experience (more information about journaling will be provided)
• Committing to meeting either weekly (preferred) or every 2 weeks with your director
• Familiarity with the zoom video platform
• Being familiar with the use of Scripture in prayer (there will also be instruction on this)
• Openness and receptivity to ongoing one-on-one spiritual direction through the duration of the retreat
• Willingness to share the details of your prayer experiences with a spiritual director
• An interview with a director may be required

All those whose participation is confirmed, will be encouraged to participate in an introductory session. This will also be a nice opportunity to meet others who will be on retreat this year. There will also be a final gathering at the conclusion of the retreat.
