Exploring Ignatian Wisdom

Ignatian Wisdom for the Everyday Pilgrim

"The way of Ignatius is about finding freedom: the freedom to become the person you’re meant to be, to love and to accept love, to make good decisions, and to experience the beauty of creation and the mystery of God’s love."

James Martin SJ

• How can we discover God in every moment?

• What does Ignatius Loyola and his vision for Life, Love, and Work have to say to me in my life?

• How can I integrate my spirituality with my daily living?

This 2-day Retreat will provide the opportunity to take time out of your everyday life to stop reflect, and experience what it means to live the Ignatian Way.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with their own heart’s journey and lived experience in the light of the insights of St Ignatius Loyola and other contemporary Ignatian Voices.

There will be time for personal space, input and personal reflection, sharing with others, creativity, ritual, and prayer.

This Retreat will:

• Give you the personal time and space to stop, rest and reflect.

• Introduce you to Ignatian spirituality and the tools it offers for everyday living including Ignatian Discernment and the Awareness Examen.

• Give you time to both share your experience and listen to the experience of others travelling a similar path.

• Give you time to consider how God is calling you in your life.

• Offer you the opportunity for individual spiritual direction.

An important aspect of the Program is the community experience. Time to sit and relax in the company of others is also an important part of this retreat. This happens informally around meals and morning and afternoon tea and in small groups where people have the opportunity to share the fruit of their reflections and experiences. 

Who is it for?

The Retreat would suit anyone who is seeking to learn more about Ignatian Spirituality and the tool of discernment.  For those working in Ignatian Ministries, it also offers a unique opportunity to deepen your experience of the Ignatian Charism and way of proceeding.
