When will applications be accepted?
Applications for the February Via Virtual cohort must be submitted by February 9, 2026.
When does Via begin?
For accessibility two retreats will be held:
Weeknights February 23 - 26
Weekend February 28 - March 1
Where will in-person cohorts be located?
In-person Via cohorts (launching in September of 2026) locations are not yet finalized but cities that have previously hosted OIS in-person programming and will likely form host again are metropolitan areas in and around Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, and Denver. Locations where these groups are TBD but are conveniently located for travel.
When will another Virtual Via Cohort begin?
May 2026. Dates will be released soon.
Where would retreats be held?
Virtual retreats will take place online with plenty of time for off-screen prayer and reflection.
In-person retreats will be held either on a Saturday or over a weekend depending on availability. Spaces would be reasonable distance, either close to or in, the city or region where Via is located.
When would cohort sessions meet?
Meeting times and days will be established at an agreed rhythm to accommodate the group's schedule. Most groups meet on a biweekly schedule i.e. every other Tuesday or the first and fourth Wednesday of each month.
What if I already have familiarity with Ignatian spirituality?
Ignatian spirituality is something that invites repetition so even if this would not be the first experience with Ignatian Spirituality, you are still invited to take part in the program.
Thank you for your interest in Via: the Ignatian Way.
