Weekend Ignatian Retreat—A Spacious Life: Nurturing Deep Roots and Lasting Fruit
January 17 – 19, 2025, Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center
Directed by Angela Laughter, MTS, and Sarah Otto, M.Div.
At the start of a new year, it is tempting to get swept up in resolutions and the pressure to achieve. But what if we saw time differently—more spacious, less hurried? What if you began the year in a quiet place, with room to wander and wonder about God’s dream for you? In this weekend retreat, you will have the opportunity to rest in the beauty of creation, enjoy nourishing food and be inspired by scripture. Through the lens of Ignatian spirituality, which encourages us to slow down, pay attention and savor God’s graces, why not enter this year more gently? Instead of rushing toward change, we will reflect on the expansiveness of God’s time, discovering how to cultivate a spiritual life that moves at its own rhythm and bears lasting fruit. There will be opportunities for one-on-one spiritual conversations with a spiritual director, as well as the sacraments of reconciliation and Eucharist. This is a silent retreat.

Day of Reflection for Spiritual Directors: What Color is God’s Skin?
January 20, 2025, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center
Directed by Fr. Bill Noe, SJ and Lauren Morton
The work of spiritual direction is to listen to and explore another’s religious experience. The spiritual director’s way of listening and responding to their directee is shaped by the director’s culture, expectations and training. This day of prayer will offer spiritual directors the opportunity to consider how the social realities of whiteness and privilege affect their ministry, and how God may be inviting them to grow in openness to their directees’ experiences of God. The day will include invitations to individual prayer, time for facilitated group sharing and communal prayer.
This day of reflection is offered to spiritual directors and those in active ministry.
