Be part of this retreat designed for people who need time and support in decision making.

Opportunities to speak with the presenters about the discernment process form a part of the weekend. Limited to 18 participants.

God constantly creates and imparts God’s Spirit to us. Ignatian discernment names a process by which one makes choices to live in the light of God’s Spirit. In the process of Ignatian discernment God is a partner in a person’s or a group’s choice. Divine desires for creation are revealed in Jesus, the Word of God, in Christian tradition and in the life of each person. This last self-communication of God is felt as one’s abiding desires.

Testimonies –
