How to Start the Journey
The SEEL is a long retreat that takes place in everyday life for 9 months. The retreat journey begins in August 2026 and concludes in May 2027. It is both individual and communal!
What does that mean? You, the seeker, have individual time for daily prayer and journaling, and you meet every 2 weeks with your SEEL spiritual director.
And, you will have the opportunity to meet with other seekers and spiritual directors once a month on the 3rd Saturday morning for a communal retreat experience, exploring aspects of the Exercises.
What will you need?
An open mind and a generous heart and a longing for deeper communion with God and God’s Creation.
