Retreat in Everyday Life
according to "The Spiritual Exercises" of Ignatius of Loyola
Spiritual directors will find space in this retreat setting for individual spiritual growth, while gaining the skills to gently walk directees through the Spiritual Exercises. As the student nurtures the practices of repetition, imitation of Christ, and intimate union with God, they simultaneously learn to walk with another, serving as a guide in their directee's journey through the Spiritual Exercises.
