4-day or 8-day Ignatian Directed Retreat on Oct. 9-12, Oct. 13-16, or Oct. 9-16 with Matt Simmons or Fr. Gary Coulter Ignatian Retreats, based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, are also known as directed retreats. The heart of the Ignatian Retreat involves spending four or five prayer periods each day in meditation on scripture. Thus the real director of an Ignatian Retreat is the Holy Spirit.
