Abiding in God’s Love – An Ignatian Retreat in Daily Life

 

 

"Every time you listen with great attentiveness to the voice that calls you the Beloved, you will discover within yourself a desire to hear that voice longer and more deeply."

- Henri Nouwen

 

During this individually directed retreat, you'll be invited to:

  • become aware of God’s presence in your life
  • recognize how God might be inviting you closer
  • notice opportunities to join with God to bring more love into the world

The  retreat will introduce you to prayer in the Ignatian tradition, allowing you to engage your imagination, feelings, and intellect as you pray with Scripture. Through daily private sessions with a spiritual director, you'll have the opportunity to explore how God is with you in your prayer and your life experiences.

Dates: October 4 - 10, 2026 and April 25 - May 1, 2027
