The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius:
A Retreat in Daily Life
The journey of the Spiritual Exercises is an opportunity to experience a heart-felt encounter with God through Christ that allows for a deeper openness to God, a more acute attentiveness to God’s movements within and a greater responsiveness to God’s invitations. The “Retreat in Daily Life” is given over 10 months. It involves 60-75 minutes of daily prayer, 15-30 minutes of journaling everyday, a weekly 1 hour meeting with an Exercises director, and attendance at a Faith Sharing Conference every 4-5 weeks. All Faith Sharing Conferences will be on Sundays from 2-4 pm. We will begin the journey together with a 1½ day orientation and conclude with a ½ day “Sending Off” retreat. We have directors available in Rancho Palos Verdes, Norwalk, San Gabriel Valley, and Santa Clarita. Applications now being accepted for 2011 program.

Spiritual Direction & Private Retreats
Spiritual Direction: From time to time we all feel the need for guidance, compassionate listening or help with discernment. A spiritual director is a companion on the journey who enables you to tune in to your deeper self and recognize the still, small voice of God within. Spiritual direction is available for individuals or couples on an on-going basis, meeting about once a month. A donation of $40 to $60 is suggested for each one-hour session. We have several directors available. For information on spiritual direction contact Tammy at (310) 377-4867 ext 252 or email to Tammy.Private Retreats:
“Come away… and rest a while” (Mk.6:31). In today’s stressful world there is often a need to get away for a quiet time of prayer, reflection and rest. Our peaceful environment, pleasant rooms, beautiful gardens and enjoyable meals offer a sacred space where the whole person is nurtured. One day or a few days of refreshment and renewal reinvigorates us, body, mind and spirit, so we can return to our lives with a new sense of God’s presence to focus and ground us. Individual spiritual direction is also available to enhance your private retreat experience. For information on private retreats contact
Sydne (310) 377-4867 ext 258 or email to Sydne.
