A restorative retreat designed especially for Catholic women. Get away without leaving home as you rejuvenate your spirit with the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. If you’re a busy Catholic woman, this retreat is for you. In these conferences, revered spiritual director and counselor Lyn Holley Doucet commiserates frankly with the stressed-filled lives of many women today. The Ignatian teaching on disordered attachments she explores provides an apt lens through which to better understand the compulsions, anxieties, and restlessness that so often bog you down.

The author of numerous books including the award-winning Water from Stones: An Inner Journey, Doucet leads powerful retreats that combine her solid grounding in the Ignatian spiritual tradition with her talents in ministry. A gifted storyteller, she infuses gentle humor into her lectures, painting images that will lead you into deeply healing practices of prayer. Throughout, Doucet remains firmly rooted in the strong foundation of the Exercises and the Ignatian spiritual tradition, giving clear and specific guidelines for setting up to pray with the retreat. As you draw closer to Jesus through these powerful conferences, you’ll learn how best to receive the gifts of abundant new life and love He can offer your spirit.
