Our major training program in giving the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius is a Three-Phase Program.

Each phase is an entity in itself. Candidates apply for each successive phase separately upon successful completion of the previous phase.

Phase One includes:

  • the 40-Day Spiritual Exercises (the 30-Day Spiritual Exercises preceded by five Disposition Days of silent preached retreat; includes daily meeting with a spiritual director, followed by five Appropriation Days of reflection on the experience of making the Exercises)
  • Approximately four weeks of seminars and study of Spiritual Direction and the Spiritual Exercises.

Phase One is an intensive educational experience, not a practicum in Spiritual Direction.

Pre-requisites:

  • Successful participation in at least one individually directed 8-day retreat
  • Fluency in written and spoken English
  • Completion of each phase or appropriate equivalent prior to acceptance into the next phase
