Spiritual Direction Groups

An Ignatian Discernment Group to Help Uncover Your Deepest Calling

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.

The Heart of Year 2

While Year 1 focused on discovering who God created you to be, Year 2 is an invitation to embodiment, alignment, and expression. Grounded in contemplative prayer, Ignatian practice, and spiritual direction, this journey helps you translate your core identity into daily life, offering your unique presence and grace to the world around you.

How Year 2 Builds Beyond Year 1

• Year 1: "Who am I, and what is the Name of Grace God whispers over me?"
• Year 2: "How do I live this out? How do my deepest desires, my view of God, and my everyday actions align so I can freely serve?"

Where Year 1 helped you uncover your spiritual identity, Year 2 moves into ordering your inner world, deepening your freedom, and stepping out of inauthentic roles so you can offer your unique gifts with confidence.

The Heart of Year 3

Year 3 focuses on establishing a deep, felt sense of internal sturdiness and maintaining that grounded presence in the face of external pressures. Through physical grounding and contemplative prayer, this journey helps you drop unnecessary emotional weight, quiet internal noise, and find the unshakeable bedrock of God within your unique Name of Grace.

How Year 3 Builds Beyond the Journey

• Years 1 & 2: "Who am I, and how do I begin to align my life to this identity?"
• Year 3: "How do I hold my center in the chaos? How do I abandon the frantic pace of the world to live from a sturdy, quiet foundation?"

Where earlier years focused on discovery and initial alignment, Year 3 shifts toward resilience and true rhythm. It is about taking off the protective masks and ill-fitting armor of others' expectations, allowing you to courageously anchor your daily choices to the solid, steady truth of who God created you to be.
