THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius can be made either residentially over a 30day period or non residentially over a longer period.
In 2012 we are offering them on a residential basis at the Coach House from August 28th to October 2nd. This lasts for 35 days to allow for a settling in period.

It is also possible to arrange to undertake these on a non residential basis. So you continue at home with your daily life but make a particular commitment to regular prayer on your own and then to meetings, weekly or fortnightly, with a guide here at the Coach House.
This is particularly flexible and adaptable to the needs of individuals and may be spread over nine months or a year, or even longer. It is a considerable undertaking, entailing a commitment to daily personal prayer covering the suggested retreat material (up to an hour each day) and keeping a prayer journal, which enables reflection. These then form the basis for meeting with your personal guide.

There is normally an exploratory period with a guide trained in Ignatian spirituality to see whether this would be a helpful way to proceed before a commitment is made to the Exercises as a whole. Usually individuals have been receiving spiritual accompaniment on a regular basis before embarking on this type of retreat.
