Group limited to 4 people

The group will read through a Gospel scene three times; between each reading, Susan will lead you into a Gospel scene through your senses and imagination. The goal is to encounter Jesus and to be with Him. Entering into the scene offers you an opportunity to ask Jesus questions, to listen to what He wants to say to you, and to simply enjoy being in His Presence.

Whatever is happening in your real life is welcomed as part of the time with Jesus.  

After the guided readings, you will spend 30 minutes alone in silence in a private room where you will continue to pray with the scene and allow it to unfold. There will be 10 minutes for journaling about the time and then we will return to the group for a time of sharing.

*Payment is required if a group is missed. Commitment to being present for yourself and other group members each month is very valuable to the group.

Are you feeling a stirring in your soul, a desire to understand your unique place and purpose in God's loving plan?

We all have a distinct way of being in the world, a fundamental identity that shapes our choices and actions. God, in boundless love, created you with intention and a specific purpose in mind.

This group offers a sacred space and a structured approach to help you explore this profound question. Through guided reflection, contemplative prayer, and a carefully curated collection of Ignatian-inspired exercises and meditations, you will be invited to:

  • Deepen your awareness of God's presence in your life and your inherent worth.

  • Explore your deepest desires and longings as potential pathways to your calling.

  • Discern the unique gifts and talents God has entrusted to you.

  • Gain clarity on your fundamental identity and how it informs your purpose.

  • Connect with a supportive community of fellow seekers on a similar journey.

This group draws upon the rich tradition of Ignatian spirituality to provide a framework for personal discovery and a deeper understanding of your God-given identity and purpose.

Prerequisites: This group is designed for individuals who have previously engaged with the foundational principles of Ignatian spirituality through completion of the full Ignatian Spiritual Exercises or the 19th Annotation of the Exercises. This prior experience will provide a shared language and foundational understanding for the group's explorations.

Ready to delve deeper into the unique purpose for which you were created? Join us for "Name of Grace."
