2017 Program

Australian Centres of Ignatian Spirituality

An Invitation from the Jesuit ProvincialThere was a time in the Province’s history when the ministry of Ignatian spirituality was focused largely on our retreat houses and on Jesuits offering retreats and spiritual direction within them or in other similar places. Today, our five Centres of Ignatian Spirituality (CISs) continue their important work across four States, though now with many lay people and other religious involved in their work. At the same time, there are also various other communities and ministries involved with Ignatian spirituality beyond our CISs but connected with the Province in some way.

The Christian Life Community (CLC) is a worldwide community of lay people who seek to ground their engagement in the world, in prayer, family life and work in Ignatian spirituality. The Ministry of the First Spiritual Exercises (FSE) grew out of the work of our CISs but has since become an independent Province ministry in its own right. The Jesuit College of Spirituality (formerly Sentir) continues to offer courses in Ignatian spirituality, spiritual direction and leadership. Companions in the Ministry of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises is the professional association of Givers of the Spiritual Exercises (in all its forms).

Each year, these communities and ministries are represented, along with the CISs, at meetings seeking to forge greater links and collaboration. The refreshed national CIS website now draws your attention to these works and communities and to this growing co-operation in the service of the Spiritual Exercises.

This movement towards greater co-operation, and sharing of ideas and resources between different bodies of Ignatian spirituality, has been the fruit of discernment, personal and communal. Individuals of faith can have great ideas but personal discernment needs to be matched by the same call of God that comes through other people and institutions. Ignatius’s spirituality is not a ‘do-it-yourself’ one. Andy Otto (www.godinallthings.com) writes:

Ignatian spirituality is a treasure because it is a spirituality that requires your full involvement and God’s full involvement. Some spiritualities involve only self. They say that truth comes from within. Other spiritualities dismiss the self and seek only external signs of God’s will. Ignatian spirituality envelops both of these things and says that one cannot work without the other. I cannot solely search within me for the answers and, on the other hand, I cannot discern what God desires for me if I do not look within.

It is my hope that through one or more of these companion Ignatian ministries or communities, your personal discernment will be complemented, and you will be helped to find in your life that which gives God greater glory and you joy!

Fr Brian F. McCoy SJ, Australian Provincial of the Society of Jesus

Ignatian SpiritualityIgnatian spirituality is named after Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556). Ignatius developed a way of personal spiritual growth based on his experience that God deals directly with us. He wrote down his spiritual practices in a book called ‘The Spiritual Exercises’, which is still relevant for modern men and women. His spirituality fosters interior freedom and facilitates good life decisions. The Spiritual Exercises have been variously named a school for prayer, a school for discernment and a school for loving action.

Ignatian spirituality helps us to build a personal relationship with Jesus. It includes intimate dialogue with Christ, reflection on how God is present in our daily lives, and prompts us to ask: What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What ought I do for Christ?

Our Spiritual DirectorsIgnatian spirituality is built around two key relationships: the relationship between a person and God, and the relationship between that person and his/her spiritual director. Spiritual direction may be experienced individually or in a group. The spiritual director takes as a model the relationship between Jesus and His disciples, including the times when they withdrew to the mountains. Here Jesus had conversations with them and they prayed together before returning to daily life.

The spiritual directors who work in our Ignatian Centres are our greatest resource. They are all formed in Ignatian spirituality, are professionally trained, and experienced in giving the Spiritual Exercises.

Individual Spiritual DirectionIndividual spiritual direction is a foundational ministry of Ignatian spirituality. As in the relationship Jesus had with the woman at the well, spiritual directors seek to be encouraging and non-judgemental so that those seeking may draw from within the life-giving water that is Jesus Himself.

Our Centres can provide regular individual direction by arrangement. Please contact the Centre of Ignatian Spirituality in your State for an application form, which will be kept confidential. Upon receipt of your application, one of our spiritual directors will contact you.

All Are WelcomeOur Centres are not-for-profit organisations and our charges enable us to cover costs. Anything above this makes it possible for us to subsidise those who cannot afford the full cost. It is the policy of our Centres that nobody be excluded from a retreat or program due to financial reasons.

This dialogue becomes our prayer, providing a new foundation for how we relate to Jesus within the context of daily life. Our decision-making, whether small or potentially life-changing, takes place in this intimate relationship with God and leads to positive action in our lives.

The Spiritual ExercisesIgnatius developed a program of prayer and reflection from his own experience of seeking God. His experiences of sharing God’s love with all sorts of people grew to become the book of ‘The Spiritual Exercises’. Ignatius gave three forms of his Exercises and we in turn offer them to you.

102 Mona Vale Rd, Pymble NSW 2073, or local CISThe First Spiritual Exercises (FSE) combines the twin ministries of spiritual conversation and spiritual exercises, akin to the form of the spiritual exercises given most frequently by Ignatius and the early Jesuits to anyone of good will.

These five questions helped create the First Spiritual Exercises: What do I desire? Where can I find life? What is my true face? What is under my feet? Do I have to be strong to serve?

Humble Service & Deep Inner Peace The First Spiritual Exercises help a person ask for and receive inner peace. This inner peace is utterly unmistakable. I feel the love of God so overwhelmingly unconditional, so gently intimate, that I am left with a deep-seated peace that will survive all sorts of trials, selfishness and loss.

FSE Retreats & Spiritual Conversation The FSE is a four-week retreat in daily life, with a choice of four retreats (see the Inner Peace retreats detailed on page 3). It involves a commitment to daily prayer from Monday to Thursday and a Sunday exercise. Retreatants usually meet weekly during the retreat and share their experience in spiritual conversation facilitated by trained guides. The FSE can always be adapted to the particular needs and circumstances of those making the retreat.

Individually-Directed Silent RetreatsOur silent directed retreats are of varying duration, allowing retreatants to join us for as little as one day, or six to eight days.

A silent directed retreat of one or two days is a good first step for those who may not have done this type of retreat before. For those seeking to deepen their relationship with God over a longer prayerful time, a four to eight-day retreat might be a good next step.

In these silent retreats, you will be given your own spiritual director with whom you will meet daily.

In gentle conversation, your director will discern with you how God is at work in your prayer.

Silent directed retreats are available at any time throughout the year at all of our Centres.

FSE regional teams are established in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. We can connect you with local spiritual conversation guides who give the FSE to parishes, pastoral teams, prayer groups, teaching staff, ecumenical groups and individuals. We work in collaboration with CIS teams, CLC, and other Ignatian partners.

Praying an FSE retreat can bring us swiftly back into relationship with a personal God and the meaning and direction of our life journey. It slows us down, to reground us in what matters.

The FSE offers life through listening and conversation. A single story from another can change us for life. Such stories reach deep and catch us up, to transform and nourish. And our life stories carry life for others. The FSE is full of deep stories – our stories, the story of the universe, of people in great need, of intimacy with Jesus.

If you would like to experience one of these retreats in your parish, your group or personally, please contact your local CIS.

Inner Peace in Divine Love In these exercises, we reflect on our experience of God’s gifts to us. In remembering such gifts, we become open to gratitude and response. The exercises begin with our experience of love and teach us how to bring those original feelings into the present. Come and experience this journey into divine love.

Inner Peace in Darkness & LightThese exercises take us in prayer through the mysteries of love, sin and mercy, healing and freedom. They track through the dark side of our humanity and life journey. But in doing so, with God’s tender love, they also provide us with a sure route to greater faith, wholeness and intimacy with God. Indeed, they lead us to a profound friendship with God. Come and experience this journey into the mercy of God.

Inner Peace in Friendship with Jesus‘Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin.’ (Proverbs 18:24) Using sacred symbols for each exercise, we begin with the first acts of divine friendship, the creation of the universe and ourselves, and end with the last act of friendship, our eternal union with the Trinity. In the core of the retreat, we pray ‘friendship’ exercises that help people we know in need. Come and experience this journey into divine friendship.

Inner Peace in the Service of God The core of this retreat is praying the Beatitudes, gifts of the Spirit, works of mercy and more in a way that draws naturally on our own experience of these gifts in our lives. We are encouraged to ask for the grace we most need now. Come and experience this journey into a more fruitful service.

2. The Full Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life: 30 Weeks Throughout the year - contact local CISThe Full Spiritual Exercises can be made over about 30 weeks in daily life. One makes the Exercises whilst living and working as usual. The retreatant commits to prayer and reflection for up to an hour each day and meets with his/her spiritual director once a week. Contact your local Centre of Ignatian Spirituality for information or an application form.

3. The Full Spiritual Exercises: 30-40 Days Contact local CISThe Full Spiritual Exercises can also be made over 30-40 days as an individually-directed live-in retreat. In an atmosphere of prayerful silence and surrender, one is drawn into a deeper relationship with God through daily prayer, reflection, liturgy and spiritual direction. Contact your local Centre of Ignatian Spirituality for information or an application form.

Other RetreatsOur Centres offer retreats on spiritual themes to meet a variety of spiritual needs and desires. These retreats offer spiritual conversations about prayer and life experience in guided groups or individual spiritual direction. Each retreat has its own rhythm of silence and withdrawal, guidance, prayer, liturgy, teaching, rest and recreation. Please read the retreat descriptions to choose the retreat that best meets your needs.

No special knowledge or holiness is required! In any retreat, expect to be offered encouragement, spiritual direction, spiritual exercises and ways to pray. Finally, these retreats provide practical ways for you to continue to deepen your relationship with God.

Christian Life CommunityChristian Life Community (CLC) is a lay movement begun by Saint Ignatius of Loyola 450 years ago.

In 60 countries throughout the world, small groups come together fortnightly to pray, reflect on Scripture and share with one another how God is working in their lives.

We encourage one another to pray daily using Ignatian prayer methods to deepen our personal relationship with Jesus and we use our prayer in making life decisions. We engage one another in spiritual conversation, which enables us to share deeply and respectfully, detecting how the Spirit is working in each of our lives. We support and encourage one another when facing difficulties and rejoice together in our joys, seeking to integrate our faith and our life.

If you desire to deepen your faith in a loving community, seek out Christian Life Community by contacting your local Centre of Ignatian Spirituality.

Campion Centre of Ignatian SpiritualityFr Iain Radvan SJ, Director 99 Studley Park Road Kew VIC 3101 Tel: 03 9854 8110 Email: [email protected] Web: www.campion.asn.au Facebook: www.facebook.com/CampionCentre

Our ministry is centred on Christ through the spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

We invite others to encounter Christ through Ignatian spirituality and,

under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to work with Christ to change the world.

Campion Centre of Ignatian Spirituality is dedicated to offering individuals a quiet, peaceful environment that encourages reflection and growth in spirituality. We also support the community through outreach programs. We offer a diversity of retreats founded on Ignatian spirituality and it is our desire to offer retreatants a warm welcome and a comfortable, secure place to rest and pray.

Campion has 13 single bedrooms and one twin room. It has shared bathroom facilities, a conference room to seat 50, meeting rooms, chapel and a dining room where all meals are fully catered. Live-in retreats include all meals, bed linen and towels. Our gardens and the surrounding Yarra Bend Park give space for contemplation and gentle walking. Our conference centre is available for private hire.

Campion offers spiritual direction from Monday to Friday including one evening a week.

Our priority at Campion is that no-one be excluded from our retreats due to financial reasons. When you book a retreat, you will be invoiced for the cost, and we invite you to pay what you are able. We also welcome additional payment to support others who cannot afford full payment.

There is a minimum of four retreatants to confirm a retreat. If there are not enough retreatants, Campion may cancel the retreat. Retreatants may opt to either receive a full refund or transfer to another retreat. We cannot however compensate you for airfare or travel costs incurred.

SupervisionSupervision is: "The processing of the inner experiences of spiritual directors that are evoked during direction sessions in order to help them grow in awareness of their reactions and responses, to allow them to respond in a God-centered and interiorly free manner, and to maintain a contemplative focus. (Other tasks and benefits may occur through supervision, such as guiding, consulting, teaching and personal healing, however these are secondary tasks and occur only after the primary purpose is served).” (Maureen Conroy, Looking into the Well, 1995, p.13).

It is also “a process of experiential learning wherein a regular and safe place is created for supervisees to undertake facilitated reflection on the experiences that arise from their work.” (G Murray, 1999).

Campion CIS believes that regular supervision is integral to ongoing formation for practitioners in spiritual direction and in other areas of pastoral ministry. We offer experienced and knowledgeable supervisors for individual and group supervision. For a confidential application form or more information, please contact us on (03) 9854 8110 or email [email protected]

Being with God in Nature RetreatsCreation is of the order of love. God’s love is the fundamental moving force in all created things. (Pope Francis, Laudato Si, 2015, n.77)

With the rise of the industrial world, over the last couple of centuries, more and more men and women have become urbanised and as result more disconnected from Nature. We have come to see ourselves as the masters of Nature, with the Earth being an object for us to use to make our lives more comfortable. In this process, we have lost our connection with God’s presence in the Universe. Pope Francis, in his encyclical Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home, invites us to reunite with God in the Earth, in the whole universe. In this ministry, Being with God in Nature, we provide a variety of opportunities for people to spend time in a group, at times in silence, listening to God’s presence in Nature. We will do this by taking people out into the Australian wilderness as well as experiencing Nature in our urban settings.

The entire material Universe speaks of God’s love, his boundless affection for us. Soil, water, mountains; everything is, as it were, a caress of God. (Pope Francis, Laudato Si, 2015, n.84)

During the weekend, retreatants will have the opportunity to relax and contemplate the beauty of Nature and God’s presence in the cosmos calling them to new life. “Earth is calling us back to itself, and not only to us but to all its components, calling them into an intimacy with one another and to the larger community within which all earthly realities have their existence ...” (Thomas Berry).

Light here flaunts itself over the lagoon, pink and gold. Canals bustle with wealth and light. Marble panels, windows and vast mirrors shimmer serenely with luminescence. everywhere water sweetly lisps and slaps. The gilded horses, domes, and cupolas, every palazzo, flourish banners of light.

The pilgrim and his pilgrim companions will have none of it. They serve, hour by hour, in the din, the stench, of the hospitals; crazily waving their hats for attention they preach, in the marshtowns, with foreign tongues the Christ-foolery of the gospels. They await the ship to Jerusalem, which will never leave, and the call to Rome, if God so wills: each is the other place.
