Guided Ignatian retreats with spiritual direction in Colorado

A Directed Personal Retreat includes time with a spiritual director who accompanies you during your retreat. You meet with your director daily—or less frequently, depending on your needs—and spend the remainder of your time in quiet prayer, reflection, reading, rest, and time outdoors.

Directed retreats are shaped around one central desire: to notice how God is active in your life. Spiritual direction is rooted in Scripture and the Ignatian tradition, but the path of each retreat is personal.
