An introductory encounter with the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola

One of the giant fathers of spiritual direction is St. Ignatius of Loyola. St. Ignatius developed a powerful programme known as the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. The Exercises, written around 1522-1524, have helped thousands of people find their purpose and vocation in their personal and professional life.

This programme offers a taste of the incredible contribution the spiritual exercises can add to the spiritual life of each person, in their relationship with God and with others. It runs for four weeks and involves a weekly one-hour-long group meeting.  Additionally, each participant is encouraged to engage 5-10 minutes each day in reading and reflecting on the theme presented in the weekly group meeting.

(Dates: Friday, 19th & 26th April, 3rd & 10th May)
