Celtic Retreat in Daily Life
The Retreat in Daily Life is a week-long contemplative journey that invites you into sacred attentiveness without leaving your ordinary life. Rooted in the rhythms of Lent and shaped by both the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius and the wisdom of Celtic Christianity, this retreat offers a way of entering holy time while remaining fully present to work, family, and daily responsibilities.
Celtic spirituality reminds us that God is not found only in removed or rarefied spaces, but at thresholds and hearths, along shorelines and kitchen tables, in the wild places of the heart and the familiar contours of everyday life. The Retreat in Daily Life honors this vision by creating a gentle but intentional structure for prayer, Scripture, and spiritual companionship within the flow of your week.
Rather than offering more ideas about God, this retreat is designed as a guided experience of God’s nearness and love—a way of learning to notice how Christ is already meeting you in the places you live and move each day.
A Celtic Lenten Rhythm for the Week
February 22–28
This year’s Retreat in Daily Life takes place during the first full week of Lent, traditionally understood as a time of beginning, return, and re-orientation. Each day of the retreat follows a distinct prayer theme, drawing from the movements of the Ignatian Exercises and embodied in the lives of Celtic saints whose witness helps us imagine faith as lived, relational, and grounded.
Each day includes Scripture for prayer, guidance for entering that day’s theme, and a daily conversation with a spiritual director who listens with you for the movement of God.
There is an opening and closing session via zoom at noon mountain time on the 22nd and the 28th.
