Something in you is stirring. Maybe you sense God’s invitation. Maybe you know you want to deepen your faith. Maybe you’ve heard about others making the Spiritual Exercises. You’ve already taken the first step by visiting this website; now it’s time to ask God if this experience is one you want to make together right now.

The “Spiritual Exercises,” which were written in the 1500s by St. Ignatius of Loyola in both Latin and Spanish, are actually a collection of notes and directions for a spiritual director, who guides the retreat participant through the retreat experience. Our contemporary adaptation of the Spiritual Exercises—”My Life in God’s Project”—provides you & your spiritual director with daily reflections and prayer prompts.

Retreat participants typically spend 30-60 minutes a day praying individually with the provided materials over the course of seven months. They then meet weekly or bi-weekly with a spiritual director to discuss their encounters with God and reflections. There will also be optional group prayer experiences led by the Spiritual Grounding team that you can participate in.

Act soon! If you are thinking about joining us for the Spiritual Exercises in daily life retreat this year, make sure to fill out the application soon. The application will be available while space remains or until September 15. Don’t delay!

The application will invite you to reflect on why you are interested in making the Spiritual Exercises and what you hope to gain through the experience. We’ll also ask you about what you are looking for from a spiritual director so that we can help match you with someone who will be a good fit for you!
