Margaret Silf unearths the gold mine of spiritual wisdom to be found in the legacy of Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. Ignatian spirituality sets out an engagingly down-to-earth vision of connecting with God in everyday life. It latches onto God’s presence in stories, in other people, in the created universe, and even in God’s apparent absence. This study will be great for those whose faith in God would benefit from a more personal and practical teaching on themes such as: spiritual discernment, prayer and scriptural meditation. Participants can expect discussion and spiritual exercises and is intended for the seasoned believer as well as the tentative pilgrim.

Let’s join together to discuss and explore contemplative practice as a way to grow in our awareness of God’s presence in each moment. We will read, discuss, and apply Marjorie J. Thompson’s spiritual classic, Soul Feast: An Invitation to the Christian Spiritual Life. As a group, we will create a safe space, inviting vulnerability as we grow in our understanding of what it means to grow closer to God through contemplative practices such as prayer, meditation, deep listening, and Lectio Divine (Divine Reading).
