Each gives the other person deep respect, each remains humble before the other, and each is open to being moved by the other.
Ignatius Loyola, Spiritual Diary [156-157]

To remove our sandals before the sacred ground of the other.
(cf. Ex 3:5) Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis

 

We offer opportunities to experience, learn about and use tools and processes at the heart of the Ignatian way, arising from the experience of Ignatius Loyola and where he was led by God – his life of many conversions, key relationships and Companions, the Society they co-founded, and their way of working in the Church and the world.

A respectful, holistic approach, with sound adult learning pedagogy.
