We invite you to set out on a journey with us, to see your life with new eyes, and to consider how your life may be transformed.
Once upon a time a young man began a journey that would transform him from soldier into a saint - St Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. What led him to set out on this journey? What did he experience along the way? How can you learn from these experiences in your life?
As part of this retreat (offered online, or residentially at St Beuno's Jesuit Spirituality Centre in North Wales) we will offer you material each day for your own personal prayer and reflection, as well as opportunities to encounter others, share your reflections and listen to their stories. You will have the opportunity to speak to a spiritual guide who can help you navigate your own faith journey
We’d love young adults in their 20s and 30s who are based in the UK and Ireland to come and join us to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the conversion of St Ignatius of Loyola!
Dates: 27th July - 1st August (Online) and 28th July - 1st August (St Beuno's).
Please note that the Residential Retreat is fully booked, but you can apply for the waiting list. There are still places on the online retreat.
During this weekend Father Roger Dawson SJ will introduce and explain this approach to flourishing as life before death and he will make the link with our faith and Ignatian spirituality.
This weekend explores the human condition through your own life story, in the context of the Gospel story and the Christian spiritual life, using mindfulness skills and contemplative Christian prayer.
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 residential course includes listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises.
