Notes: Each retreat includes an orientation day at the beginning and two days of review at the end. Retreatants are expected to participate for the entire program. Applicants for the Spiritual Exercises must have made several week-long, individually-directed, silent retreats and currently be receiving on-going spiritual direction.
