Experiencing God: Our interior movements understood using St. Ignatius' Rules for Discernment
Fr. Jeff Putthoff
This guided retreat will make use of Ignatian contemplation, imaginative prayer, and the senses to engage in conversation with God. The focus will be on understanding our interiority using the model of Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a means to intimate prayer with God/Jesus/Spirit. We all have parts of us that are sad, joyful, anxious, discouraged, happy, funny, and many more. Having such parts are a natural aspect of adult life and sharing such interior movements in a familiar way with God/Jesus/Spirit is what Ignatian prayer helps us to do.
Our days will consist of two talks and mass. There is ample time to pray. This retreat is practical, encouraging curiosity, connection and compassion with ourselves, and with God. $925 per person (Including lodging and meals).
