The Jesuit Institute team are pleased to offer this exciting opportunity to experience the full Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius in a combination of prayer in daily life and two residential silent retreats with individual spiritual direction.

Engaging in the Spiritual Exercises in this way offers the opportunity to complete the journey in around six - seven months. Whilst this is an individual journey, those taking part will be companions throughout the experience of the Exercises. The residentials will be at moments when a retreat environment might enrich the prayer experiences at that point on the journey.

The Hybrid Experience includes:

Sat 21st Jun 2025: Opening Day for the Group (online)

Jun – Aug 2025: Weekly meetings with your spiritual director in daily life to prepare for the Exercises.
