Explore Ignatian Prayer and Contemplation: Introduction to the Spiritual Exercises Retreat
LMU faculty and staff are invited to join a silent weekend retreat of guided prayer, reflection, and one-on-one spiritual conversations with Dorian Llywelyn, SJ and Nick Russell, SJ at the Mary and Joseph Retreat Center. The Exercises are based on Christian scripture, but faculty and staff of all convictions and faith backgrounds are warmly welcome - especially those who are new to Ignatian spirituality.
