Course Information:

Have you ever wanted to find out about Ignatian Spirituality?

Well, now is your chance. This weekend covers the basics: Who was Ignatius? What is Ignatian Spirituality ? Together, we will find out why and how people guided by Ignatian Spirituality are sometimes called “contemplatives in action” because they seek to develop a rich inner life which helps them engage more deeply in God’s work in the world. And, more importantly, we will experience a number of spiritual exercises. This event welcomes people of all faiths and beliefs and none.

Course Leader:

Sam Whiley is a Spiritual Director rooted within the Christian tradition. She is drawn to contemplative expressions of faith and love creating a safe and hospitable space for anyone looking to explore their spirituality and walk with God.
​
Over the years, she says that she has had the honour of accompanying people from all walks of life looking to journey with a greater sense of intentionality, authenticity and connection to the divine. Many of these people are church leaders, CEOs, therapists, spiritual directors and creatives.

As an experienced Ignatian practitioner, she is keen to introduce Ammerdown guests to Ignatian Spirituality .  She says, “ The Spiritual Exercises is a journey of meditations, prayers, and contemplative practices developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Designed to help people deepen their relationship with God, these prayers have enriched the lives of countless people throughout the world - from various denominations and backgrounds.  Considered to be world-renowned and a timeless spiritual classic, it is my delight to offer this ‘retreat in daily life’  ".
