Lenten/Easter Retreat in Daily Life

Eight weeks of prayer in the dynamic of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises

5 March – 23 April 2024

Meeting in small groups each Wednesday.

You are invited to participate in an eight-week Lenten/Easter Retreat, focused on prayer and spiritual growth, held in daily life. This retreat will be grounded in the four seasons of prayer from the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises beginning on Ash Wednesday. We will gather online for approximately 90 minutes each Wednesday for spiritual conversation and group spiritual direction.

Throughout the retreat, we will explore the four themes of the Exercises: starting with the Season of Love, then journeying with Jesus through the Season of Intimacy, the Season of Passion and Compassion, and finally, the Season of Joyful Passion as we reflect on the resurrection.

Participants will be encouraged to pray daily with the retreat materials and engage in journaling. The retreat is based on the book Grace Upon Grace by Marlene Marburg, with additional new reflective materials. Whether you choose to participate silently or incorporate it into your daily life, please set aside at least an hour each day for prayer and reflection. You may choose to focus on one or more of the daily readings provided.

The cost of the retreat will be $395 AUD. For more information you can contact Kardia for more information or download an Application Form here.
