Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center
Ignatius House is a Jesuit retreat center in Atlanta, Georgia.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: AUGUST 1, 2026
Retreat in Daily Life:
Type: Retreat in Daily Life (sometimes referred to as the 19th Annotation)
Format: This approach invites retreatants to pray approximately one hour each day, engage in a prayerful review of each day, and meet weekly with a trained spiritual director who will accompany them through the journey. Four optional group gatherings along the way provide additional encouragement and community.
This retreat makes the depth and grace of the full Exercises accessible to those who cannot step away for a 30-day silent retreat but who still desire a life-changing experience of prayer, discernment, and deeper intimacy with God. Over nine months, you will be invited to discover how God is moving in your life — and how you are being called to respond.
The Retreat in Everyday Life is best suited for individuals who:
Have made at least one silent, directed Ignatian retreat,
Maintain a habit of daily contemplative prayer,
Are familiar with Sacred Scripture,
And have experience in ongoing spiritual direction, able to share and entrust their prayer experience to a director.
Dates: Begins September 2026 and runs for nine months.
Location: In-person or online. Group meetings will be virtual. Individual spiritual direction meetings will be in-person or virtual (depending on preference and location).
Application deadline is August 1, 2026. For more information, or to request the application form, please contact Sarah Otto at sotto@ignatiushouse.org.
