Loyola Hall Ignatian Internships
posted on September 14th, 2011
Residential Internship in Retreat-giving and Spiritual Accompaniment with the Loyola Hall Team
Spiritual direction and retreat giving in the Ignatian tradition puts high value in reflection on experience — one’s own experience of God, of accompanying others and exploring the insights of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. This residential Internship is for people who have made the full Spiritual Exercises and completed training in Ignatian Spiritual Accompaniment and who now wish to gain deeper experience of giving retreats and spiritual direction. An Internship can vary in length from 4 months to 10 months.
An internship will be regarded as a training programme and will involve the following:
- Directing 2-, 4- and 8-day Individually-Guided Retreats.
- Receiving regular one-to-one supervision and participation in group supervision
- Participation in team formation — including fortnightly seminars, Teamdays etc
- Participation in relevant courses at Loyola Hall and St Beuno’s as available
For the duration of the Internship you will live and work as part of the team and community at Loyola Hall, including taking a share of the usual house duties undertaken by the team. You will be paid a basic salary during the Internship, which after deductions and board and lodging will offer about £450 a month.
Selection is by application form and interview. For further information on availability of Internships and for application forms please contact:
