Guiding Groups: an online workshop
Mature disciples of Christ are guiding prayer groups, retreats, and biblical studies in the Ignatian manner throughout the United States and beyond. This online workshop invites Ignatian spiritual directors and guides of groups to confirm their grasp of the Ignatian way of proceeding in accompanying groups while deepening their own interior life in Christ.
How we will proceed:
The workshop will mine the wisdom and experience of ISI learned over twenty plus years of guiding small groups in schools, Catholic parishes and non-Catholic churches, retreat houses, and organizations.
Spiritual Companioning
The Ignatian Spirituality Institute is privileged to work with several Ignatian spiritual companions. Through our application and interview processes, we are sometimes able to help seekers and directors find one another.
