Inner Peace in Divine Love – A Four Week Retreat in Daily LIfe
This First Spiritual Exercises retreat runs over four weeks in daily life. It guides you in prayer and reflection for 30 minutes each day. The retreat is for anyone who desires to grow in their relationship with God.
The retreat was composed by Michael Hansen SJ and is based on the Spiritual Exercises by St Ignatius of Loyola. This retreat is a way of encountering the Creator as Love in your everyday life through a program of personal prayer and attending a weekly gathering of guided spiritual conversation.
What is involved
Participants pray at home for 30 minutes each day, and meet together with retreat guides within a group once a week for 90 minutes, for listening, prayer and spiritual conversation. There are five 90-minute group meetings.
These sessions are guided by trained givers of the First Spiritual Exercises. It is suggested that you purchase “The First Spiritual Exercises: Four Guided Retreats” book by Michael Hansen SJ ahead of the retreat.
