Now Accepting Applications for 2025-2026
Dear Seeker,
Welcome-I am delighted that you found us! Our SEEL Community is excited that you are interested in learning about our nine-month retreat experience in everyday life. We offer a ‘personal retreat in a communal setting’ meaning that each person will encounter God and Jesus in their own way while receiving spiritual direction and support from their director and the entire SEEL community.
SEEL is not a lecture series or an academic course on the Spiritual Exercises. There are no texts or books required. All that is needed is an openness to explore where God is in your life and a willingness to grow in a deeper understanding of how God is leading you into spiritual freedom. We welcome those from many spiritual traditions and our spiritual companions/directors come from Catholic and Protestant backgrounds.
This retreat is best suited for those who have some experience and a desire to deepen their prayer life, enjoy the companionship of sharing their spiritual journey with others, and who feel called and committed to deepening their personal faith which galvanizes them to be people of peace, justice and love.
Our retreat goes from September 2025 to May 2026 and includes a monthly gathering on a Saturday morning and individual spiritual direction twice a month. Our deadline for applications is July 31, 2025, though if it is past our deadline, please email us to see if there are spaces still available. For more information go to Retreat Details.
We hope that you will join us on an amazing spirit-filled journey!
Lisa Dennison
Executive Director, SEEL Puget Sound
