The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) is a
transforming nine month retreat experience in everyday life.
SEEL PUGET SOUND IS NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE
RETREAT YEAR 2024-2025!
Dear Seeker,
Thank you for your interest in our SEEL retreat! We will offer our retreat in a unique hybrid way for the year 2024-2025. We will have 2 cohorts- a mostly in-person retreat hosted at St. Joseph Church in Seattle and a mostly online retreat. Retreat dates and details are in our application below. There are many advantages to an online format (including participation of people outside of our region) and we understand that there is a special gift in being able to meet in person. We hope this hybrid model will be a good compromise that honors the needs of both retreatants and the SEEL community of directors. We are happy to answer any questions you may have. We warmly invite you to join us for our 41st retreat year starting September 2024!
Lisa Dennison, Executive Director | Terri LePenske, Seattle Lead | Mary Gorman, Tacoma Lead
Mission statement: The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) invites us into an intimate relationship with God that integrates prayer into our daily lives, infuses us with a prophetic spirit and impels us to follow Jesus’ call to work for peace, justice and love in the world.
The SEEL retreat is offered annually from September to May. The retreat invites you to:
- Develop a commitment to daily prayer – an hour a day is ideal
- Meet with a spiritual director twice a month for an hour
- Come together with other retreatants one Saturday morning a month either in-person at St. Joseph Church (Seattle) or over zoom (TBD). There will always be an on-line option for those outside our region.
Those who benefit most from SEEL have:
- An openness to spiritual growth and personal transformation
- An established habit of prayer/meditation and desire to deepen their prayer
- A desire to be reflective, seek God in all things, and to draw nearer to Jesus becoming a ‘contemplative in action’
