Spiritual Exercises

Ignatian Spirituality helps develop an interior freedom and spiritual awareness that helps us deal with what St. Ignatius called the disordered attachments we develop in our life. The exercises are a series of contemplative practices and scriptural meditations that St. Ignatius developed over the course of his life. The exercises are done in 4 movements or weeks. While they can be done in a month long retreat, most people do not have a month to devote to that journey. Another way of taking the retreat is to do the Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL). This is a 9 month journey that involves meeting with a Spiritual Director once a week.

Jeff has been certified in leading SEEL by The Pneuma Institute. He offers the Spiritual Exercises to individuals and for groups. If you are not interested in the 9 month journey there are shorter retreats using the exercises that are 6 & 12 weeks long.
