Spiritual Exercises Reclaimed Session 1

September 19, 2023

By Nancy Small

Session 1 of our four-part series entitled, Spiritual Exercises Reclaimed: Uncovering Liberating Possibilities for Women, was held on Sept. 19, 2023. A large group of people eager to learn about the liberating power that is at the heart of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius gathered online for the session.

Newcomers to the Spiritual Exercises joined with experienced practitioners to explore the First Week of the Spiritual Exercises. Participants were invited to reflect on the experience of discovering themselves in God’s eyes and seeing themselves as God lovingly sees them.

The group explored themes that emerge from the First Week of the  Spiritual Exercises, including barriers to spiritual freedom especially in the lives of women and ways for women and men to move  toward greater spiritual freedom.

Session 2 of this series takes place on Oct. 17, 2023 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET, and will focus on Week Two of the Spiritual Exercises – coming to know Jesus more deeply.
