The Rhythm of the Retreat: How it Works

This unique online retreat, incorporating a variety of contemplative prayer methods and leaning on the third week of the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius, provides a plan for reflection and prayer done on your own schedule.

Our weekly plan includes:  

  • A short video reflection to introduce that week's theme
  • A guided prayer reflection using the methods of Lectio Divina or Ignatian Contemplation to pray with the grounding scripture of the week
  • Scripture and questions for personal reflection
  • A second short video reflection deepening the theme of the week
  • Two additional guided audio prayer reflections using the methods of Colloquy, Visio Divina, or the Examen
  • A weekly community wall to share your thoughts and experiences with the global community
