July and August 2021
All individually guided retreats involve seeing a retreat
guide daily on Zoom or other mutually convenient platform. At the
meeting you can share how your prayer has gone. The guide will suggest
Scripture or other material for prayer if required. There will also be
a chance to talk about ways of praying and issues of Faith.
These retreats are considered full-time. That is, they are a space for
you to retreat from work and the cares of daily life and concentrate
on prayer and a consideration of major issues of your life.
The expectation is that you will be able to spend between four and
five periods of prayer daily of up to one hour each period.
This year we are running two slightly different flavoured individually
guided retreats online.

The full Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola is a creative and
flexible programme of prayer and reflection centred on the life of
Christ. It can be made as a 30 day retreat or in everyday life.
Many see it as an opportunity to deepen their relationship with God.
Others may make the exercises because they wish to make an important
decision about their life direction. Others still come to them for
less clear reasons, they just feel drawn to make them.
The person making the Exercises commits to pray and reflect for a
certain amount of time each day and meet regularly with the retreat
guide.
The retreatant shares with their spiritual director their experiences
of the Exercises.

Lent: February 17 - April 11
A retreat where you continue your usual daily routine, but find space
for a period of prayer each day, probably between 20 minutes and an
hour.
Online Material for prayer is provided by the Ignatian Spirituality
Centre.
Each day there will be a reflection, a picture, a passage of Scripture
and some Music.
How you use the material we offer is up to you.
These retreats have a theme, but you never know what might strike
you. They will be different for everyone.
We shall be taking Gospel stories in order to get to know the person
of Jesus better. This retreat lasts from Ash Wednesday 17th February
to the first Sunday of Easter 11th April, 2021.
We hope to leave this retreat online for people to use at any time.
