Our Ignatian Spiritual Direction Initiative is dedicated to supporting the ongoing formation of spiritual directors in the Ignatian tradition through networking, resource sharing, and programming.

About Our Ignatian Spiritual Direction Initiative

Launched in 2016, the goals of the OIS Spiritual Direction Initiative are to: 1) provide continuing formation opportunities for spiritual directors; 2) connect spiritual directors to people seeking direction, and 3) share resources and ideas that support the ministry of spiritual direction.

If you are trained spiritual director, or discerning becoming one, we are here to support you.

We offer continuing formation programs for spiritual directors and those in training, including ongoing programs focused on deepening engagement with the Spiritual Exercises.

For trained spiritual directors.

For those seeking spiritual direction.

We offer resources for spiritual directors, those discerning a call to become a spiritual director, and those engaged in the ministry of the Spiritual Exercises.

We want to hear from you!

We are here to help people find God through spiritual direction, and to support spiritual directors in their ministry.
