Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, 19th Annotation

A Companioned Prayer Journey Immersing in God's Love

An ancient journey for modern times.

Begins Sept 2026

A 9-Month Journey

Immerse in your Belovedness

The story of God and humanity is a love story. We are saved by love. We are changed by love.

Discovering who we are and what we are created to do is rooted in our identity as the Beloved of God. In experiencing the depth of God's love, we encounter new freedom to face our human failings and risk leaning into the deep desires of our heart.

Have you immersed yourself in God's love and delight over you lately?

Live the Gospels with Jesus

In the footsteps of Jesus, we explore the heart of God for us and the human family. We pray through the life of Jesus, a companion with Jesus in His story: His birth at Christmas, His ministry and miracles, the passion at Easter, and His resurrection.

In setting aside intentional time with Jesus, we come to love Him and know Him more dearly and find ourselves changed by the encounter.

Pray with Your Imagination

God's Word is alive and on the move in our lives. The illumination of the Spirit allows us to encounter our Triune God more deeply. In this journey, we are invited to engage our sanctified imagination to meet Jesus, his family, and those He loved and served in the fullness of their humanity.

In the journey, we begin to consider how we are invited to participate in bringing His Kingdom to come to earth through our own flesh-and-blood reality.

Time Commitment

Daily engagement with prayer materials — 40–60 minutes each day, plus the Prayer of Examen once or twice daily (5–10 minutes each). Life brings its own rhythms, and the hope is toward 5 hours of prayer each week as a retreat-in-daily-life. Additionally, we will meet together weekly for 30 minutes, or every other week for one hour — a time to reflect on your experience with and of God, attend to the subtle interior movements of your life, and notice both challenges and graces along the way.

Cost

Every other week $80 per 1-hour session Weekly $40 per 30-minute session Plus the prayer materials to be ordered separately — a soft cover book, $25.99 + tax. Link sent before the Exercises begin.

A Group Adventure

Time Commitment

The daily engagement with prayer materials remains the same: 40–60 minutes each day, plus the Prayer of Examen once or twice daily (5–10 minutes each). Additionally, the group will gather together approximately 9 times (via Zoom) and we will meet together for one hour individual spiritual direction sessions between the group gatherings. This means we will be in conversation about the prayer journey with the group or in spiritual direction about every other week. The Group Gathering date and times are to be determined, but likely the 9 gatherings will take place on a Tuesday, no later than 4pm MTN. The length of the gathering will be dependent on the number of people within the group (capped at 6), but not expected to exceed two hours.

Cost

$1280 Plus prayer materials to be ordered separately — soft cover book, $25.99 + tax. Link sent before the Exercises begin. Sliding scale available. If you have discerned this is your next step and the cost is a genuine burden, please reach out directly to inquire about a reduced rate.

A Mini Journey - Taste and See

Because this journey involves a high level of commitment in both time and resources, and perhaps an adjustment in your typical prayer rhythm, this offering provides a mini experience of the Exercises, and may help you discern if this is the right next step for you in your spiritual journey. Praying the Exercises is a love journey; one of receiving God's love, and one of moving in love towards God and ourselves.

If you are uncertain if this 9 month prayer pilgrimage is for you, the Six Week Beloved Journey is a great first step in making that discovery.

Six Week Beloved Journey; Discovering The Exercises

Flexible pace to accommodate your summer plans and aid in discernment

The six weeks of prayers help uncover and address potential roadblocks on the journey and deepen your knowing of God's love; an essential grounding place before beginning one's journey in The Exercises. This can also be a delightful prayer retreat experience with no pressure to commit to the 9-month prayer journey.

The Beloved Journey includes an initial 45-minute conversation orienting you to the prayers which will familiarize you with the pattern of praying the Ignatian Exercises. After each week of prayers we will meet for 30 minutes to explore your experience with God in the prayers. After completing the Beloved Journey, a 45 minute complimentary session is included to gather the graces and make space to see what desire you may have for the 9 month Ignatian Exercises.

The Spiritual Exercises are "not just for spectators but for those with a hunger for something deeper, a yearning to walk with Jesus (not just read about Jesus), a desire to embrace more of what God has for you, a longing to be equipped to partner with what God is doing in and through you, a willingness to get down and dirty with God, Jesus and yourself."
