Ignatian Spiritual Exercises

Description

Rooted in centuries of Christian mysticism, the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises renew seekers' sense of meaning, purpose, and hope. This extended personal retreat at home invites you to embrace profound spiritual transformation and to release what no longer serves. Through creative prayer practices, you will have opportunities to deepen your relationship with the divine. MY APPROACH (P.I.C.T.U.R.E.): * PERSONALIZED: Each week, I will offer you “spiritual exercises,” or daily prayer practices tailored for your life situation and interests, which you can explore at your own pace. * IMAGINATIVE: Many of these prayer practices will involve your imaginative entry into scenes from Jesus' life, which I will facilitate through guided meditations. * CREATIVE: I will also provide guidance for sacred experiences with nature (e.g., walking meditation) and the expressive arts (e.g., SoulCollage®). * TRANSFORMATIVE: These prayer practices will enliven your mind, body, heart, soul, and spirit, supporting your holistic spiritual development. * UNITIVE: In this way, the spiritual exercises will invite you to become more receptive and responsive to the loving presence of the divine in "all things." * REFLECTIVE: During this extended retreat, you will meet weekly with me on Zoom to process your experiences and to integrate the gifts of your journey. * EXPERIENTIAL: Your lived experiences of spiritual growth are central in this retreat.
