The aim of this eight day course, which runs twice a year, is to introduce participants to the basic principles of Ignatian Spiritual Accompaniment.
It will include: listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian accompaniment, spiritual conversation and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises which will be valuable in a variety of pastoral settings. This course will also introduce some of the skills necessary for spiritual direction, but while the course may reveal a gift for spiritual direction, it does not provide sufficient training for people to offer spiritual direction.
Course requirements:
Commitment to one’s own prayer life
Experience of receiving spiritual accompaniment on directed retreats or ongoing spiritual direction

The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This is an online retreat day especially for you to set aside time with God while making. You will find your own quiet space to be at work and use your own materials of choice. There will be suggestions for prayer and opportunities to share your prayer.
An online retreat in daily life enables you to make time for prayer and reflection in the midst of daily commitments. It is suitable both for people who feel like they don't have enough time to pray and for those who simply feel like their prayer life needs refreshment.
