September 2026-May 2027
Join The Well for the Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) beginning in September 2026!
This nine-month retreat captures the essence of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, inviting participants to prayer daily, meet with a spiritual director, and connect with others engaging in the retreat process. All are welcome to share in this ecumenical, interfaith spiritual formation opportunity focused on deepening our connection with God in our everyday lives.
Traditionally, the Spiritual Exercises are experienced by going away to a retreat center for 30 days of prayer and meditation in silence. This retreat is designed for people who cannot be away for 30 days as originally practiced. This retreat allows participants to experience the Exercises with an Ignatian-trained spiritual guide over the course of nine months. It is a wonderful way to intentionally grow closer to God, strengthen one’s prayer life, and enrich one’s spirit.
SEEL is not a lecture series or an academic course on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola or Ignatian spirituality. All that is needed is an openness to prayerfully explore where God is in our lives and a willingness to grow in a deeper understanding of how God is leading us into spiritual freedom.
Who is SEEL for? Anyone looking to deepen their spiritual life, relationship with God, or prayer practice.
During SEEL, retreatants will:
- Participate in the retreat from September 2026 until May 2027
- Pray for at least 30 minutes each day
- Meet with a spiritual director every other week, virtually or in person
- Attend monthly gatherings for retreat participants, virtually or in person
COST: $750, charged in full or incrementally in 3 payments of $250.
Scholarships are available!
