Dear Seeker,
Thank you for your interest in our SEEL retreat and we are currently at capacity for this fall. We will be accepting applications for our 2024-2025 year in early spring of 2025.
We also invite you to visit the offerings of an organization that we work closely with. The Ignatian Spirituality Center at Ignatian Spirituality Center (ignatiancenter.org) has many fine Ignatian offerings.
May your spiritual journey bring you back to our website in Spring 2025 to apply to our SEEL retreat program! Wishing you every blessing on the path,
Lisa Dennison, Executive Director | Terri LePenske, Seattle Lead | Mary Gorman, Tacoma Lead
Mission statement: The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) invites us into an intimate relationship with God that integrates prayer into our daily lives, infuses us with a prophetic spirit and impels us to follow Jesus’ call to work for peace, justice and love in the world.
The SEEL retreat is offered annually from September to May. The retreat invites you to:
- Develop a commitment to daily prayer – an hour a day is ideal
- Meet with a spiritual director twice a month for an hour
- Come together with other retreatants one Saturday morning a month either in-person at St. Joseph Church (Seattle) or over zoom (TBD). There will always be an on-line option for those outside our region.
Those who benefit most from SEEL have:
- An openness to spiritual growth and personal transformation
- An established habit of prayer/meditation and desire to deepen their prayer
- A desire to be reflective, seek God in all things, and to draw nearer to Jesus becoming a ‘contemplative in action’
