 You
may just want to understand the Exercises for your own
benefit or it may be that you wish to train to work in
religious formation, to help others in making life choices
and discerning the will of God. This is a new programme
for people who wish to deepen their understanding of spiritual
direction and retreat giving in the Ignatian tradition.
We shall
consider
-
There will be a practical element to the programme
with a look at listening skills and other aspects
of spiritual guidance in the Ignatian Tradition.
-
Dealing with trauma and psychological issues arising
out of prayer and the Exercises.
-
Ignatian Discernment
-
Some elements of the Theology of the Exercises will
be considered by Dr James Hanvey SJ of Heythrop College
- in 2008.
-
How to encourage those you are accompanying to reflect
on their own life experiences.
-
Gender, and sexuality issues in spiritual guidance.
-
Spiritual Direction and the giving of the Exercises
to those who feel marginalised from the church or
who are not committed Christians.
-
How to adapt the dynamic of the Exercises to shorter
retreats and Spiritual Direction.
This programme will be taught using a
variety of methods: presentations from the team, seminars,
small group work, private study and practical exercises.
We shall build upon and develop your own skills and understanding.
This programme will involve teaching
days from Monday to Friday. Saturday is reserved for private
study and Sunday a day of rest. Participants are therefore
free from Friday evening until Monday morning each week.
