Via Info Sessions
Learn more about OIS’s latest spirituality program.
Via: The Ignatian Way is an introductory program designed to help adults explore the rich tradition of Ignatian Spirituality — a contemplative practice rooted in the spiritual wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola that invites deeper self-awareness, discernment, and a closer relationship with God. Via is currently offered to prospective participants in Boston, Denver (young adults only), Detroit, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and as a Virtual cohort.
If you're curious about what Ignatian Spirituality has to offer, we invite you to watch a recorded info session below.

Where will in-person cohorts be located?
In-person Via cohorts are currently offered to prospective participants in Boston, Washington D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia.
When will another Virtual Via Cohort begin?
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.
