THE IGNATIAN SPIRITUAL EXERCISES - AN INVITation
WHAT IS AN IGNATIAN SPIRITUAL EXERCISES RETREAT?
WHY MIGHT YOU WANT TO MAKE THE IGNATIAN SPIRITUAL EXERCISES RETREAT?
WHY MIGHT YOU WANT TO MAKE THE IGNATIAN SPIRITUAL EXERCISES RETREAT?
- A guided experience using the Spiritual Exercises, written by St. Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th century, as a result of his own spiritual experience of encountering and befriending Jesus by praying through the Scriptures, empowered by the Holy Spirit, with his mind, emotions, and imagination. Ignatius shared his exercises with others, and out of this, a movement grew that eventually became the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). Since the 16th century, the Exercises have been revised into a more accessible language, and many, many people have found these spiritual exercises to be transformative in their faith and lives.
- The exercises take place primarily in your daily times with God over nine months, from late September through May, using the Ignatian prayer materials provided.
- Nine video teachings, monthly one-on-one sessions with me as your Director, and nine Zoom gatherings with a cohort of people I lead through the Retreat are included.

- The Ignatian Exercises facilitate truly knowing Jesus in experiential ways in our everyday lives, in contrast to just knowing about Jesus through Bible reading and study.
- The journey through the Spiritual Exercises offers a deeper personal connection with Jesus and growth in awareness of God's loving presence in our lives.
- The exercises provide a perspective shift to see God's constant, continual care for us.
- The exercises can increase a new sense of feeling seen, safe, soothed, and secure in the presence of the Trinity in a profound way that no amount of counseling, training, or trauma work can conquer. Anxiety can dissipate in your soul as you enjoy God's nearness and withness, which is cultivated through prayer.
- The exercises help the Scriptures become more alive, relevant, and available in real time.
- The spiritual exercises promise to be a great blessing if you desire a deeper, more personal, experiential connection with Jesus.

- I have been a practicing Ignatian-trained Spiritual Director for the past five years, trained by SoulFormation, an organization based in Portland, Oregon.
- I recently completed the Retreat offered through SoulFormation. The Retreat was a meaningful, comprehensive, and engaging experience for me due to the thoughtful materials and videos provided, the leadership of my Spiritual Director, and the group gatherings with other participants.
- As a result, I felt called to enroll in Dale Gish's training course to become a Retreat Director. I will complete the program summer 2024.
