About this Program
Ignatian Spirituality IRL is a series of evening workshops meant to inspire seekers with practical ways to embody Ignatian spirituality in real life, including:
Your Story as Graced History
Living the Magis
Becoming a Contemplative in Action
Each session will be guided by a facilitator who will share the theme, then give guidance on how to practice the Ignatian theme in concrete ways. By experimenting with these themes, participants may ignite their spiritual growth in a supportive community; develop a personal capacity for self-awareness as a spiritual practice overall; and enrich or deepen their spiritual life through an appreciation of the self and other.
