Core Exercise: Ignatian Interiority for Stronger Living

IN-PERSON AND LIVE STREAMED

How does spiritual exercise result in stronger and more resilient living?

As physical exercise aims to strengthen the physical core of a person, so spiritual exercise aims to strengthen the spiritual core. This presentation aims to help listeners consider the possibility of greater interior capacity through spiritual exercise, resulting in a stronger and more resilient way of moving forward in life.
