Encountering the Heart of Christ: An Ignatian Guided Retreat
May 23-30, 2025
In his most recent encyclical, Dilexit Nos (He Loved Us), Pope Francis writes: “The heart of
Christ, as the symbol of the deepest and most personal source of his love for us, is the very core
of the initial preaching of the Gospel. It stands at the origin of our faith, as the wellspring that
refreshes and enlivens our Christian beliefs.” These inspiring words will serve as the core of this
Ignatian retreat with its invitation to encounter the heart of Jesus in the Scriptures and help us
to embrace his loving presence in our everyday lives of prayer and service.
Presenter: Patty Bruck, SU & Kathy A. Donnelly, SU
Most of us are well trained to learn with our minds and to “fix”
problems in our lives. Few of us know how to learn from the
wisdom of our bodies. Bio-spiritual focusing is a natural step by
step approach to the wisdom of the body.
This experiential workshop invites participants to listen to their
own body wisdom from the inside. It teaches a contemplative way
of being with whatever is real on the inside; a way to be “in” one’s
feelings without trying to “fix” them.
Using bio-spiritual focusing, one learns to enter very special
doorways into our bodies’ knowing and unfinished places where
we are called to grow in wholeness and holiness. There is a
message of wholeness in our being, a gifted revelation that calls
us forward into the inner life of God.
This workshop will be conducted in a contemplative atmosphere,
with presentations, small group work and individual practice in
bio-spiritual focusing.
