UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES

 

 


November 18 - December 14

This is a programme for people who wish to deepen their understanding of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius and look at spiritual direction and retreat giving in the Ignatian tradition. The programme presupposes that participants have experienced the full Exercises.

We shall consider:
  • The Dynamics of the four weeks of the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius with a consideration of Ignatius' text and how we can use this today.

  • Dealing with trauma and psychological issues arising out of prayer and the Exercises.

  • Ignatian Discernment


  • How to encourage those you are accompanying to reflect on their own life experiences.

  • Sexuality issues in spiritual guidance with Revd Andrew Walker

  • Supervision of the spiritual director/retreat giver.

  • How to adapt the dynamic of the Exercises to shorter retreats, daily life retreats and Spiritual Direction.

  • There will be the opportunity for those who wish to undertake personal supervised study of the Exercises.

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.
