Walking in silence, in Nature, allows us to connect deeply with creation, ourselves and others. We invite you to join us in this contemplative walking style.
Join the Eco-spirituality group and Ignatian Spirituality WA for a silent reflective walk in Kings Park. There will be 2 options for walking: one easier and the other more challenging. However, the emphasis is always on silence and contemplative walking.
The world is in crisis, many of the causes of which are fundamentally spiritual. What we see and hear does not provide a coherent inspiring life-giving story inviting us into deeper relationships with God, others and the natural world. We need a new story.
Ignatian Spirituality and Christian Life Community WA offer an ignatian reflective walk in nature at Perry Lakes Reserve in Mt Claremont for the Season of Creation. This will take place on Sunday October 13th 2024 from 10-12pm.
Pope Francis: “ In our reflection on the environment we must make central the connection between the cry of the poor and the cry of the Earth”
Sr Frances McGuire is a Josephite sister who is both a wonderful retreat leader but also has lived with the poor and marginalised in places like northern Australia and Peru. She is well placed to lead this retreat having experienced first hand the devastation of poverty, marginalisation and damage to our common home.
In their vibrant colours, rock and stone are radiant bearers of Earth’s Story. In company with Teilhard de Chardin, we will explore the divine plan for our planet and all creation. "All things were created through Christ and for him, and in him all things hold together." Col 1.15-20
Join the eco-spirituality group on another Ignatian reflective walk this time at the beautiful and easily accessible Kent St Weir in Cannington. this easy, flat 4km walk will be done with some time for prayer, reflection and silent walking.
Come on an Ignatian Reflection walk on the Banks of the Canning River at Salter Point. Slow walking, Pausing, Reflecting and sharing are all part of this time.
Ignatian Spirituality focuses on seeing God in all of Creation. Pope Francis urges us to be caring of our common home, planet Earth - by recovering our connection with the natural world. Our new story reminds us of God as Trinitarian relational Being, a God whose loving presence is expressed in and through all living beings; which is called eco-spirituality. John Auer will lead us through the current understanding and the evolving ideas about this exciting new story, which begins at the first moment of creation.
How does Ignatian Spirituality, with its gifts of discernment and deep listening, inform our understanding of Synodality - walking together - a new model for Church?
Dr Sandie Cornish is well placed and informed and will help us navigate some of the issues and language around Synodality and explain what Pope Francis is seeking to introduce into the way of being Church in the future.
Start 2023 with clarity with the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius to work through a 30-week period at any time that suits you.
For those people who are focused on prayer and who desire to deepen their relationship with God, one way of making the Exercises is through the 19th Annotation, also known as The Retreat in Daily Life.
One of the advantages of the Retreat in Daily Life is that the person is able to live and work in their own environment and yet still pray and make the Retreat over a period of approximately 30+ weeks.

As 2021 slips away, this is the perfect time to reflect on the year gone by. In the Ignatian tradition, this is not a superficial review of the past events, but a call to reflect from that deeper place of the heart.
“In the beginning was Power, intelligent, loving, energizing. In the beginning was the Word, supremely capable of mastering and moulding whatever might come into being in the world of matter. In the beginning there was not coldness and darkness: there was Fire”.
Excerpt from “Fire over the Earth” in The Mass on the World, Ordos, 1923.
