The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of
Loyola and the Art of Spiritual Direction
The Ignatian Spirituality Course offers a formation into the
tradition of Christian Spiritual Direction underpinned by the wisdom
of Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) and the Spiritual Exercises.
Much more than 'praying with the imagination', Ignatian spirituality
embraces the multiplicity of ways that people find themselves in God.
More information may be found by following these two links:
