Resources for Spiritual Directors

Three spiritual directors and members of OIS’s Contemplative Leaders in Action (CLA) community explain what spiritual direction is, share some of their own experiences in direction, and talk about how important it is as a resource for Ignatian leaders in today’s complex world.

Resources for Those in the Ministry of the Exercises

The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States has put together guidelines for offering the Spiritual Exercises, titled “By Every Means Possible: Guidelines for Those in the Ministry of the Spiritual Exercises.” This document was updated and re-released in October 2020.

Also, we believe in the importance of learning from colleagues and sharing best-practices. We encourage you to reach out to colleagues offering the Spiritual Exercises around the Jesuit/Ignatian network. To encourage this kind of collaboration, we have compiled a list, including contact information, of those offering the Spiritual Exercises on the East Coast.

We want to hear from you!

We are here to help people seek God through spiritual direction and to support spiritual directors in their ministry.
