ADAPTING THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES

A Seminar: June 23-26, 2013

A Seminar led by Gemma Simmonds CJ

June 23-26, 2013

How can a book of spiritual Exercises written by a Sixteenth Century Spanish nobleman meet the spiritual needs of women and men in the twenty-first century?

Gemma, who teaches Spirituality at Heythrop College, University of London, is a lively and insightful presenter. She will lead us in looking at the text of the Exercises in its historical context and exploore its relevance and the adaptations necessary for today.

This seminar is intended for those who are involved with Ignatian Spirituality either giving retreats, in religious formation or in spiritual direction. It is expected that participants will have made the Exercises in one form or other and be familar with them. This is not a retreat and is not in silence. People who participate in the three day seminars will join a larger number of people who are involved in a ten week retreat giving and spiritual direction programme. The sharing with other participants in the seminar is a valued part of the experience.

The seminar finishes after lunch on the 26th.

Suggested Offering £195
